ILR Approved - Solihull

Hi,

Many thanks for the members in this forum for posting their experiences and sharing knowledge.

I had my PEO appointment (HSMP + Tier1 G) at Solihul today at 9.30 AM. I reached there at 8.30 and was let in but without a token at about 8.45. I was given a token at about 9.25 and waited for about half an hour. I was called to the counter and the case worker asked me to hand over application form, Passport, LIUK and then bank statements and payslips. He also asked if I have the copies of these docs and I handed it over to him. (He didnt ask for anything else, although I had about 4 kgs of documents (supporting) in my backpack.)

At about 10.25, he completed the verification and asked me to make the payment and go for Biometric after that. There is no need to type in the PIN for card payment as card details are already in the application form. During Biometric, the lady asked to write down the place and year when the finger print were taken for the first time as part of the UK visa application.

After Biometrics, I was asked to wait in the waiting area and after about 15 min, one of the guys told me that the application is fine and they have taken the payment and asked me to come back in 2 hours to collect the documents I submitted. This was around 11.15 AM.

I came back to PEO at about 12. 30 and was given the generic letter addressed to me stating that BRP will be sent via courier and another sheet which said that my application for ILR is approved (it also states that the letter is for information purposes only and donot convey the grant of ILR and BRP is the confirmation of ILR.)

Once again, thanks all for helping and send me any queries and I will try to assist.

cheers,
alladin

Congratulations. Well done. It was worth carrying the 4kg. supporting documents. What were they??

Thanks. It was all the historical documents from HSMP era . I knew they were not needed, but then just took it for the peace of mind.

I also had an employer letter addressed to the Solihul PEO which the case worker kept. He didnt ask for it specifically but it was along with the payslips and bank statements bunch I gave him. He saw it and said he will keep it as it was addressed to the PEO.
