ILR Success at Croydon 20/9/2011

[max1982]

I have been using this forum regular prior to applying for my ILR so I think it's only fair that I contribute as well.
Today I apply for ILR (WP+HSMP+Tier 1) at PEO Croydon. I was granted work permit on 7/10/2006.
My appointment was at 830am arrived at 8am. Went through airport style security check. Then i was asked to make payment of 1350.
After that, I have to wait for another 30minutes before being called to see a case worker. She was nice and friendly.

My case is straightfoward. I have with me 5 years of bank statements, 5 years of pay slips and 5 years of P60, letter from employer.

My only concern was points for Bachelor's Degree. I was given tier 1 extension after HSMP on 24 Juy 2009. So I wasnt sure if i will be given 30 points for the bachelor's degree. no questions asked. so no problem there.

In summary
documents required:
Application Forms
Life in the UK test certificate
12 months of pay slips
12 months of bank statements
5 years of P60
Previous passports
2 passport photographs

thats it....

thank you so much everyone for contributing to the forum. it's been amazing. keep it up....


Got my passport back at 10.30 am and went home to sleep.
