ILR @ Croydon PEO
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 6:40 pm
Hi All,
Finally made it..
Got ILR approved today at croydon
Straight forward process.
Reached @ 7.30 for 8am appointment. Security screening after which initial application was checked and was asked to go 1st floor for payment and then wait in the seating area for roll to be called.
3 counters opened. the officer in front of my counter was hammering the applicant with questions and doubts on the application. was praying i dont get that officer and I was lucky enough to get the same person as case worker at 8.45.
He was to the point
I ask one by one and you give it was the first thing he said
Asked for application, then passports
photos, then 3 months pay slip, 3 bank statements, employer letter and P60's. and my absence spread sheet
He said he is gonna update the system and would take him 30min and he would call me.
called after 30min and advised everything seems ok and he is running some checks and will give back my passport at 10.30 and i can go out if i want to. i asked him what checks they were and he replied security checks. I thought the "game is over" as i had a court fine for driving in international licence and fine for SP30.
Came back at 10.30 and my number was called at counter 22 and my passport was stamped. checked the details and left the place ASAP in case they changed their mind!!! lol
back home happy as a larry!!
I would like to thank all the members who have contributed valuable information and passed on their experiences good or bad!!
and wish all the future ILR applicants good luck
