I recently read on this Forum that people who had recent salary increases before their application had their applications deferred. I had an increase a month before my application which put me on the £35000 threshold. So that had me massively worried.
However my application was approved which was a massive relief.

Anyways thanks once again everyone!

Good news Congrats,
As you said you switched two sponsors, apart from P45 did you get any other letter from your previous employers.
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance

This is timeline thread. If you have question I'd recommend to create own topic.



P45 or P60 are not required even if you switch sponsors. These are extra documents and not needed.

You'd need letter for absesnes from previous employer if you were away from teh UK

HI want to Share my success Story , Thanks to this Amazing fourm and all moderators and friends who helped me in different aspects of getting to this stage n obtain ILR.

I have the same worry. How much of an increase did you get? And did the increase bumped your salary to an exact £35000 figure?

I saw first few pages of the form (until the payment page) were chucked in the bin in front of me, and was told they will now build the case in system. At around 9:30, was called for biometrics. I sat in waiting area until 11 AM, which is when my token number was called, a case worked gave me back all my documents and passports, and asked my to confirm my name, address etc. and initial on the paper. He kept my BRP card, and I was given a generic letter which stated that BRP will arrive within 7 days.

7. Any Additional Comments.

Booked the appointment 42 days in advance. Made and took a file but it was not allowed by the Data Entry admins so make sure you don’t spend too much time and resources in making a file, even document folders or paper clips were not allowed. Booking time was 09.30am but I was allowed in at 8.30am, very happy. As suggested by others, airport style security, absolutely wonderful and friendly staff, didn’t feel I was in Home Office. By 09.30am biometrics was done and I was waiting for decision. After some time I got 3 calls on my mobile which I missed, ha. But then my name was called out, but it was not the answer but a letter from uni was asked, which was with me and provided. 1pm, ticket number called again, and it was the news which gave me shivers, I was told that the application was accepted, was very happy.

My advise, don’t give all documents, just give what is asked but keep all documents. I had all documents but I did not give all extra documents, just what they wanted. Make your and their life simple.

Called my mum dad and we all cried. It is a relief, thank you all on this forum, namely makky, thank you for your guidance and moral support,

Now I don't know what to do next. It's got a bit boring to be honest

Hi All,
Experience of CROYDON PSC
Arrived at 0810 but the appointment was for 0900. We tried to get in but were told to come back at 0830, so had to wait around theoutside the building. I noticed quite a few people going in at 0820 and i tried again and another Security guy let us in. Lifts were not working walked to the 3rd floor. 0830 at reception qued and told to come back, 15 Minutes before appointment, We sat in the canteen. 0845 at reception area again, brief check on Passports, application form and given a ticket with a number and told to wait in the Canteen area and listen out for our number. 0930 ticket number called Application registered. I asked about whether application woukd have been processed if photocopies were not provided, Staff member said it was upto you whether you provided or nnot. This took about 10-15 minutes a few questions asked and all documents put into two pouches one for original docs and second for photocopies . Told to sit in another area in the same room. 0945 Ticket number called for biometrics. This was about 5 mins. Asked to wait in canteen/wating area. 1150 ticket called DESK 44 adviser asked for the letter with ticket number, he gave us all our original docs. We had to read the letter to know about the decision. Postive outcome, thank god.

Book early if you can. By 1200, the time we were leaving there were around 140 people in the canteen/waiting area and only about (i am guesing 25 ppl who received their decisions and had alteady left). Croydon seems to be slower in processing than other PSC's judging from the earlier comments in the thread. If you have a 0900 appt probably not a goos idea if you turn nearly an hour early like us. As t
earlies are strictly for the premium customers but 30 Mins early ia okay for 0900 appt as security takes about 10-15 minutes and they did register our application 15 minutes befores appnt 0845 . Oh i tried and could not find the board, where it shows how your case is progressing i.e. under consideration ot not.

I was at a risk of redundancy 10 months ago where I was offered a letter called "Offer of Alternative employment" although still within the same sort code which got me a bit concerned.
A month after, I had an increase of £5 to round up my salary which put me on the £35000 threshold.

My appointment was 9am and I left there around 11:30am on Friday Januray 26, 2018.

Hi All

By the grace of Almighty my Wife's SET (LR) was granted yesterday. I would like to share the story-

Her Immigration

I would recommend to go to premium service if possible. Waiting anxiously after postal application is too much to bear for some people.

Also if anyone driving from North please start early as there are some serious delay on M1 and M25. Parking is located opposite (NCP car park-Croydon Whitgift, Wellesley Road, Croydon, CR0 1UP) Lunar House (PEO Center). This parking is a little bit expensive but very convenient location wise.


Good luck.

Arrived at PEO at 9:45 and was told to come back at 10:15. Had a quick breakfast at the M&S cafe in Whitgift and came back at 10:15. Waited to be let in by security for about 5 minutes. And another 5 minutes by reception as appointment was 10:30z

Application registered -10:33 AM
Called in by case worker - 10:50 AM no questions asked.

Application under consideration- 12:15
Got a couple of missed calls on my
Phone (at 12:45, 1:05, 1:10PM) which I did not notice and was from private number. Called in by case worker at 1:15 PM and asked what we planned to do about the status of my child who was born here in UK. Told him we plan to apply for his naturalisation once our ILR was approved. He was satisfied with that and we went back to coffee shop to wait.
Called in for collection: 1:40 PM and told we were successful and to confirm all originals are returned.

Had I picked up the call at 12:45 it would have been over by 1:15.

The only thing I was bit worried was i had a couple of days of being in overdraft on my current account (about £4/£5 ) in mid November due yo my oversight. But at the end of it there was no questions asked about it.

Wish you guys all the best.
