[man1976]

Hi,
I am a work permit holder and have completed 3 years and 11 months. I would like to know what documents are required to support the application

1) Letter from my employer
2) Pay slips
3) bank statements
4) Applicaiton Form SET 0
5) Work Permit
6) Passport

Do i need Anything else

Cheers

The basic comment must be ... look at the form SET(O) and in particular Section 7 ... all the requirements are listed there.

Exactly what is required will vary from person to person. For example, have you been required to register with the Police? If so evidence that you have done so. But if not required to register with the Police, and many nationalities are not, then that will not apply to you will it.

Only thing obviously missing from your list is two passport-size pics, but they get attached to your form SET(O) anyway. Also, have you needed to renew your passport since you arrived 3 years 11 months ago? If so also include your previous passport.

Thanks for everyone who helped me

I got my ILR. It took me 4 hours all together.

Was quite surprised only document the officer check was my company letter. She didnt bother to check my salary slip or bank statement.

The main thing she checked in the form was absence from UK. After that she checked my company letter and went for a photocopy and then she said come back after 2 hours to collect your passport

Thank you everyone again

Congratulations, glad it all worked out.

Next stage? Apply for naturalisation in a year's time?

After naturalisation - what next?

Certainly i will apply for Citizenship. A quick question... MY wife is here just for the last 6 months. She got ILR with me but will she be able to apply for Passport with me or she has to complete 3 years. or is it 5 years
thank you

It will turn out to be three years, as now explained.

As for you, not married to a British Citizen, your qualifying period is five years and you need to have had ILR for at least one year when you apply for Naturalisation.

As soon as your Naturalisation is granted ... surprise, surprise .... your wife is married to a British Citizen! Accordingly (assuming of course you have already got your Naturalisation) your wife can apply for hers just three years after she first arrived in the UK. So another 2.5 years to go for her.
