first of all, i have to thanks for everyone here who gave us a lot of advises.

long story cut short, the procedures were as following:

-appointment at 9:10am, arrived 8:45am.
-went through security check
-went to counter 7 to get my ticket and waited
-around 9:30 was called to a counter and the officer checked whether we got the sufficient documents, asked us to pay the fee
-their payment system was down, waited another half hour to finish off the payment
-10:45 was called to do the biometric, just too 2-3 mins to take a photo and fingerprints
-11:30 was told in the counted that i would get a decision in half hour
-12pm went back to the counter and the officer said a caseworker was working on my case but they were very busy so would take a bit longer to check, asked us to be back at 1:30pm and definitely would get a result
-1:45pm was back and asked the receptionist as the previous offical told us to, he handed the documents back to us and said i would get the biometric permit card within 7-10days

very straight forward and surprised that we didn't need to meet the caseworker at all.

a long wait though and the car parking costs us£10!!!

one thing i don't quite understand is, i arrived and got the ticket earlier than some other people but they were met by the officers first and i don't know how they arrange the orders.

anyway, done and dusted!! thanks all the advises again and good luck to everyone who is going to apply ILR.

Update: got my biometric permit card 2 days after the PEO.

Congratulation to you , could you tell me that how much funds did you show that and how long did you keep the money in your account reply will be appreciated

to be honest, not much! as we have just started a business and you can imagine the outgoing is more than incoming. in our last 3 months bank statements show no saving at all but we always cover the bills and no overdraw,that's it.

hope it helps but if you need more info,just ask and i will try my best to answer.

great news. congrats.

a little remind which i found out on the way out........

if you drive to there, just about to turn left to the peo, there is a car park (like an open field) on the right hand side and states £80p per hour or £3 per day!

we were gutted when we saw it after paid for £10 for the parking!!
