I received my ILR yesterday in person at Croydon. There's no better way to get into the festive spirit. I would like to thank all the members of this board who have offered very valuable tips and hints ever so often.
Here's my experience:-
I had entered the UK on a Work Permit on 20th Jan 2001. So yesterday (-28days) was the earliest I could apply. I had booked the appointment exactly 2 weeks ago (9th Dec). The appointment was at 9:15AM but I was told to get there before 8:45AM. I was allowed inside at 8:30AM through the Appointments Section. Had the intial checking of documents as soon as I got in. Went to the first floor to pay the fees (£250) immediately after. Then went to the second floor and waited for my appointment reference no to be called. I was called sharp at 9:15AM. I had to provide a letter from employer, bank statements and payslips. The person at the desk after going through the documents and making copies (took 10 minutes approx) told me to come back after 3 hours to collect the passport and documents. I was called to the desk and returned my passport with the ILR endorsements at 12:45 PM. My wife who had applied as my dependant also received the same. Probably it took a bit longer as it was so close to Christmas (fewer staff maybe).
Season's Greetings.
