ILR Success - Croydon PEO - 5 year work permit

I had my appointment a couple of weeks back but did not get a chance to report it until now.

Case: 5 year WP, Single employer with dependent

Big concern before ILR - Bank balance. I barely had £100 in savings and my account was regularly overdrawn.

I will leave out the usual bits (Security, Payment etc.). From the time of Case registration to Final decision, it took approximately 3 hours. Croydon PEO is very efficient.

Hi WP2008,

Firstly, congratulations on you ILR!

I just have a small query. Did you submit any letter from your employer stating number of UK absences (whether work related or not)

I am due ILR soon and have been away from the UK for just over 3 months in the last 5 years. These holidays were all non-work related so I am not sure if a letter from employer is needed?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Regards,

Yes. I had about 60 days in total, both business and personal holidays. I wrote it up and requested my HR (nicely) to include it in their reference letter & they obliged

Thanks WP2008

Did you submit all the Cohab documents by yourself or did CW ask for some?
