Hello everyone,
This forum has been really useful and thanks to moderators and users for sharing valuable information and advise.
Thought I will share my experience with everyone. My Tier 2 to ILR application got approved last Saturday.
I went for a same day appointment at Croydon on 10-Nov-2018. My appointment was at 1PM so went in at 12:45 pm. Got my decision @ 5:40 PM. I was the last one to leave the building
I submitted the following documents:
1. Appointment Booking Checklist
2. Completed SET (O) Application Form
3. Consent Form
4. Current Passport & Old Passport
5. Biometric residence permit (current)
6. 2 Identical photographs with full name on the back
7. Life in the UK Test PASS certificate
8. Master’s degree certificate
9. Personal bank statements for the recent 3 months
10. Recent 3 months’ Payslips
11. Last 4 years P60 endorsed by the current employer
12. Letter from current employer confirming annual salary, SOC Code, continued employment, annual leave eligibility and pay slip is authentic (online payslips)
13. Letter explaining missing absence letter from previous employer
14. PSW Visa (BRP copy - period before Tier 2 General)
I made 4 mistakes in the online form. I updated the print out with sticky notes as per advise from moderators and users from this forum. Thanks everyone.
During the appointment, I informed the person who collected my documents. She made some notes in the system and collected all the sticky notes and placed it top of my passport (so the case worker can see it).
It was a long wait but good news at the end
Thanks again everyone for all the support.
Thanks & Regards
