Alhamdolillah I and my family (total five applicants) approved ILR today on ground of hsmp 2yr+tier1 3 yrs. Thanks to all contributots to this forum who helped me to grow confident to achieve the success. My appointments was on 9am. We allowed to bring pram and foods in with us. We collect token from reception and shortly called by token number on another desk. She asked for form and other documents that I have for the application. I have submitted the following documents:
1. Pay slip 12 months
2. Bank statements 12 monts with highlighted yellow all monthly payments.
3. Letter from employer (My company ownership changed so payroll changed and only that was nentioned on that letter with my current position)
4. LIUK for me and my wife.
5. Our youngest daughter birth certificate (she was born in uk)
6. Tier 1 approval letter
7. Tier 1 Dependent approval letter for Our youngest daughter.

She put all in one folder and pass the folder to me with to go payment counter. At payment counter I realized I did not give any Cohab documents. lady at payments counter already took the folder from me but she told me I can give those later on to CW.
Called for biometric around 10.10am. Called my token number around 11.10 and CW (She was another lady than the lady who asked for form and documents previously). She told me that She went through the application and is ok. She asked for photocpies of all documents that I had submitted. I told her about cohab documents. She only took council tax documents and water bill of our joints names. I did not aware that is the final stage but she told to wait 10 minutes to type my letter. around 11.30 she passed me the approved letter.

Congrats.

Hey Arifahmmed,

Congrats on your success. Did you mark your salary on the original bank statements or the copies?

Also, how did you pay, debit/credit card, did you have to call your bank beforehand?

InUkOnHsmp: I have marked on main bank statements. I did that on purpose. I had another job same time but evidence was poor and did not wanted to be questioned for that part time job. I did not claimed that job neither mentioned on 5.3 (home and finence section). Thought making my main job might help to overlook the CW.

I paid by debit card. They used my card on chip and pin device. I did contacted my bank but did not work as they said they can not keep instruction for future record but as long as money in bank payment will go through.

Congr8 man.

Thanks arifahmmed.

I would be really nervous marking on the original statements, I will probably make do by making a table of earnings with indexes into bank statements.

Thanks about the debit card, was a bit scared about this.

arifahmmed, congratulations.

InUkOnHsmp, a yellow highlighter on the bank statement is OK. This makes the CW's work easy.

my bank statements were right filthy with markers of all sorts so i wouldn't worry about it

OK, convinced again. Come to think of it I did do that when I applied for Tier-1 extension.

would you be able to post a sanitized version of the employer letter. Did you have a cover letter as well.

Congrats arifahmmed, good to hear that you have been granted ILR. You have been very helpful for the other forum members

I did not use any cover letter and to me cover letter is for those who have any special circumstances that may can confuse CW and need to explain something about that. In fact CW will not give points on something until he/she not satisfy.
I have submitted employer letter that was for special circumstance as because my company (whole group) was public limited company (PLC) and whole group is owned by private owner but Company name did not changed. I claimed earnings from same one job but two different source of payslips may create confusion to CW. Also my basic earnings were too less than required claiming band (Which came from overtime). Considering all that I did request a letter from my HR only mentioning three points:
1. My position
2. Job start date.
3. Why two different pay slips.

However I have collected another letter from my part time job employer (I did not claim that job). This letter may helpful to you (It is only for two years):

Date: 00 November, 2012

Thanks a lot arifahmmad

Today I receiver BRP cards but unfotunately received only 4 BRP cards instead of 5. Received cards myself, misses and other two children. Older daughters (11 Years) card not arrived. I checked delivery persons register and only 4 mail in this address.
What shall I do now.

Sorry to hear all your BRP cards did not arrive in the post. You do not need to push the panic button yet. Call HO Sheffield, and let them know immediately. They may tell you to wait for the 10 days before you call back. Whatever their response is, will determine your next line of action.

Kind regards

I do not know Sheffield HO number. How to get it.

Check the approval letter. It might be there.

Alternately, check with DX Couriers 01604 496798, press '*' when the IVR starts

Congratz arifahmmed!

Hopefully you will receive the BRP card for your daughter soon.

I have a quick question regarding filling the form...

Can you please let me now what to select under Section 3 (Page-9)

Do I have to select the 1st option under Section A (i.e. Tier 1 (General) migrant (excluding applicants applying under the terms of the HSMP Forum Judicial Review Policy Document)) or the 1st option under Section B (i.e. Tier 1 (General) Migrant applying under the terms of the HSMP Forum Judicial Review Policy Document) or it should be Employment not requiring a work permit ?

Many Thanks for your help

DBAforever: My entry clearance was Dec 2007 and route was hsmp 2ys+tier1 3Ys. So on basis of that I choose on Section 3 (Page-9) Section A :Tier 1 (General) migrant (excluding applicants applying under the terms of the HSMP Forum Judicial Review Policy Document)

What is your current status or you need to share your immigration history to answer on your case.
Thanks

Thanks wpilr_nov12. Checked my approval letter and it looks like Sheffield HO later headed paper and phone number is 08706067766. Looks like UKBA common number.

I did ring DX Couriers 01604 496798 and computer voice it was asking Courier number. Disconnect line as I do not know any parcell number.

Phone DX during 9-6
