ILR Success PEO Croydon 07th April 2015

I have been a silent user of this forum for sometime now and has helped me over the years in preparation for some of my applications. I was granted ILR based on Five Year Tier-1 general route on 7th April 2015 at Croydon. The whole process was smooth and straight forward and took around one hour. The appointment was at 8 AM for me and my wife. I arrived at 7:45 AM was, after passing through security went to registration. By 8:30 we were finished with the Bio-Metric registration and around 9:30 our number was called out and approval letter handed over. The overall process was quite smooth and staff were helpful. I would be happy to answer any questions.

Its important that your documents are arranged properly as it makes it easier for them to look for information. I also attached a cover letter and all the documents attached were labelled so the case worker can easily locate the documents. Also providing photocopies was beneficial as it takes less time to reach a decision however its not required.

Did they ask any questions about prev applications?

No.
