c) Third Floor - i) Token number flashed on the screen in front of a counter near the waiting area. Handed over the token number slip and made a debit card payment. Was handed over a payment slip and asked to wait until my token number was called in order to submit the application forms & documents (Total time: 5 mins)

ii) Went to an open plan office cubicle (on the right side of the payment counters after my token number was called) to hand over the forms and documents. The official checked the requisite forms and documents and asked me to wait until my number was called for the bio-metric scan (Total time: 20 mins)

iii) My token number was called for the bio-metric scan after 30 minutes. I was asked to check the details (Name & D.O.B) and provide my signature on a B.R.P form.

The official informed that my application would be processed after the bio-metric details were uploaded on their IT systems and asked me to wait in the area next to the cafe until my number was called for the collection of documents .

I was also informed that earnings claimed through self employment or a limited company were processed by a Senior Case Worker and that face-to-face interviews were no longer conducted at the Croydon P.E.O unless there was a major discrepancy in the application or documents which were submitted. (Total time : 45 minutes)

iv) My token number was called after 2 hours and 30 minutes. The official handed over an approval letter and all original documents which were submitted with the application. However, they did retain the accountant's cover letter. I was informed that the B.R.P cards would be received by post within 5 - 7 working days.


Documents submitted:

a) Dividend Vouchers - Stamped & Signed by the Company Director (stating the Gross Dividend, Net Dividend & Tax Credit on each voucher)

b) Bank Statements - Business and Personal (highlight or underline the relevant credit and debit entries to assist the caseworker)

c) Accountants Cover Letter (stating the exact amount of salary & dividends claimed, period for which earnings are claimed and details of their accredited professional membership), an Accounts Document (Balance Sheet, Profit/Loss etc) and a Summary of Invoices.

e) Contract with clients & invoices (stamped and signed by the director)

It was good experience, very straight forward. Appointment was at 9am, reached PEO building by 8:45, gone through the security checks. Was told to go Counter 7 and take a ticket number. Waited for few mins before getting called at another counter to submit the application, documents and took the payment. After 30 mins they called me in for biometrics(the woman who took my biometrics was annoyed at me for eating chocolate..lol, she was on diet and couldn't resist, so asked me to keep it away from her). After biometrics had to wait for about 45mins, at 10:45 the case worker called me and said 'everything is fine with the application, will make a decision in 45 mins and I can go out if I want to'. I went to nearby mcdonalds had a meal and returned. Had to go through security checks again. Went straight to counter 7 and she gave me the approval letter(3 years from that day) and all supporting documents. All done by 11:30

Documents provided:

Payslips(12 months)
Bank statements(12 months)
Employment letter
Passport+old BRP
UTR letter
Invoices
NI contributions slip
Accountant statements

Thanks to everyone in this forum for your information and help.

Hi,

6. Name of PEO Applied : Croydon

First of all I would like to thank the people on this thread as a lot my doubts were cleared after reading their posts.Also would like to thank the Visa Consultant as he was very clear about my application and guided me accordingly. Looking back, the last three months have been very stressful, a lot of sleepless nights and a few nightmares as well. However, the PEO experience was fantastic.

Appointment was at 9.55 am. Reached at 9.30 am. Waited at the entrance for 10 mins. Then airport style security check. Got the token number. Went upstairs and paid the fees. Then was called for biometric, submitted
the documents. Waited for a hour and half. Got called to collect documents and approval letter. So total time spent at the PEO was nearly 4 hours. Everybody was nice and polite.

Had to show 55000 as earnings. Showed 8400 as salary and 48000 gross dividends. Documents submitted:
Salary Slips
Dividend Vouchers(signed by me as director)
Business bank statements-12 mnths
Personal bank statements-12 mnths
Invoices
VAT reg and returns.
HMRC letter for PAYE number
Marriage Certificate
Degree Certificate- tho not necessary i think.

This might help somebody: I had not taken the Salary every month as per the salary slips. So made an Excel table to show Salary of each month with details given on the slips like date etc. and mentioned in the end for the all the entries that I have taken the Salary in of two payments(date as per bank statement). Got this letter signed and stamped from accountant and got it printed on accountant letterhead.

Thanks and good luck.

Decision made in 4 hours, received BRP in 5 days.

Documents Submitted:

1. Tier 1 Main Applicant - Application Form + 2 Photos
2. Passport and old BRP.
3. Online Payslip Print (stamped and signed by employer) - 12 months.
4. Original HSBC Bank statement - one those come home every month - for 12 months
5. Degree Certificate (these are Not required, yet i submitted same which was submitted for previous application)
6. NI Letter from home office (Not required, I had one so I submitted same)
7. Paysheet excel sheet showing monthwise gross and net sort of cover letter document.

1. For Depedent - Application form + 2 photos
2. Marriage Certificate.

Experience:
1. Appointment was at 12.30, Reached at 12.00
2. Security guard allowed in, with bag and water bottle ( i guess water was very less in bottle ), security kept out Deodrant. Airport type security
3. Once in, after 30 mins person called name, and asked to come at specific window
4. around 15 mins at window - asked basic questions - Type of application, number of dependents, if 200£ appointment fees is paid, self employed or salarised etc... told me decision may not be made same day. Gathered all the document specifically asking for each - application form, photos, passport, BRP, proof of income - salary slips, bank statements, qualification documents etc ( i think in that sequence) ; then for depedent - application form, photos, marriage certificate.
5. asked to wait for Biometric
6. Biometric person tried to chat us up (asking details of job etc), took photo and finger prints
7.Same person (one who took biometric escorted us out and asked us Not to come until called for or when it is 16.00 oclock, he waited until we left)
8. after 3 hours - I came back - tried to re-enter but Security did not allowed us. I told I have extra documents and want to see if they need anymore documents, he still would not let us in.
9. waited outside for further 1 hour, when case worker ringed and called us back.
10. same person who collected documents - informed result as approved. (i think case worker was different person - one who spoke on phone).
11. Biometric cards come after 5 days on home address

Overall satisfied with experience, thought after paying for premium fees and carrying supporting documents, more interaction with case worker would help - in case case worker needed more explanation; Not sure what case worker do incase more documentation is required, do they ask for it right away or simply wait till end of day.

Thanks to all on this board who helped so much as always,

Hello,

I am trying to book PEO appointment online for Tier1 General extension. In the list I couldn't see the checkbox to choose Belfast PEO. Not sure why its not seen, I remember seeing it, when my friend booked for his appointment. Not sure if I have to call Belfast PEO and book appointment. Anyone faced this scenario, please share if you have any clue.

Regards,
Krishna

Any update from anyone on Belfast, is this PEO closed for appointments. I am not seeing in the list for Tier1 appointment online

My Experience at Cardiff PEO

My experience

11:00 AM : Reached Cardiff PEO
11:05 AM : Finished with checking and issued a token and sat in the waiting lounge.
11:30 AM : My number called to register the case, they key-in all the data in to the system and kept all the documents along.
11:50 AM: Called for biometrics and got done in 10 mins
12:00 PM: They asked me to go out and turn the phone on and wait for the call. The time duration due to lunch got extended from 1 - 2 hours. Received call after 2:30 Hours.
14:30 PM : Got a call from case worker and wasn't asked for anything else
14:35 PM : went to the window after clearing security again and the guy at the window asked me to wait in the lounge as the case worker was away
15:00 PM : The case worker came and called me to another window and handed over the documents and asked me to verify that I am receiving everything back. After that he declared the news of extending my visa with the letter.


Important: A lot of people said that they been asked for invoices/contracts for being director of limited company. I was told by the case worker that they might ask me to bring additional support. But in my case I filed additional supporting documents like:

Company's Insurance
Appointment Letter for being Director
Company's VAT Certificate
Company's registration certificate

And they never asked me for any additional support
