ILR success at Liverpool PEO

[dreamerB]

Hello people,

I got my ILR @ Liverpool PEO yesterday !

Documents of importance (when applying without any dependants, as a Tier 2 migrant) are:
1. Passport
2. Biometric card
3. LIUK test certificate
4. Atleast 3 months (I took 12) bank statements (must have the transaction that shows your salary being credited) - Can be split across more than 1 Current account.
5. Atleast last 3 payslips (I took 12)
6. Photographs (in a a paper envelope) - Signed at the back
7. Original Work Permit
8. Copies of all your documents

Optional
1. P60s
2. Tenancy agreement (to confirm rent)
3. Council tax bill (or utility)
4. College certificate (Just in case)

Ok, Here's how it went.

Landed in UK with a work permit : 07 July-2006 on a WorkPermit and recently shifted into Tier 2 ICT.

My employer didnt have any problems with me applying for the ILR. So, they gave me the supporting letter. I reached LiverPool quite early ( 12:15 and my appointment was at 2). It was fairly easy to reach the Border Agency from James street station and the train staff were very helpful as well. But, they didnt let me in as I had arrived too early. So, I spent my time at a nearby Starbucks cafe. I then went back to the PEO at 1:30. Security was fairly standard.. i.e., check that you'd expect a government office. I was then given a ticket and asked to sit in the waiting area.

After about 40 mins waiting, I was called. My main documents were checked and the nice lady gave me another token. I went back to the waiting area and once my name came up (came up in about 10 minutes), proceeded to the Payment desk. I entered the wrong pin as I was nervous. I remember it eventually and was given a receipt. I proceeded back to waiting area, to be called by the CW. I submitted all the documents I had and I was again asked to go back to waiting area. After about 40 minutes, I was called by the CW and told that everything was in order

Eventually, after waiting for another 30 minutes, I received my stamped passport.

Hope this helps. All the best to everyone who is about to apply. And, finally.. thanks to everyone who answered my questions on this forum. Cheers

|Congrats ! My status is also as yours(WP +T2 ICT). Do we need to submit original WP and T2 ICT extension approval letters?

Thanks Sarath. I had submitted only the Workpermit; the very first one I ever got. I didnt submit any of the letters around subsequent applications.

Can you please let me know if "what we call ORIGINAL WORKPERMIT" is the letter addressed to employer by Work Permits (UK)?
Do i need to have it in original?
also do they need the letter initially issued when my passports came back from home office after stamping the visas 5 years ago?
I am bit confused as the date is getting close.

@jacsll55

This is how mine looks: http://tinypic.com/r/212623r/7

The reason I submmitted by Workpermit is because there is a check on the application that asks for evidence of the workpermit and whether we have done work appropriately etc. I am not sure if its mandatory or not. Someone senior should be able to give you the answer to that

Thanks dreamerB - I have a similar document issued by Workpermits UK but it only states my name and does not describe my jobtitle nor salary

@jacsll55 You should be fine as long as you have the document. Take your payslips if you have it with you. I took all my 5 years' payslips just in case.

It should be fine even otherwise
