Hi all

Now its my turn to add a thread to this beautiful forum,a silent viewer for almost 6 months with less than 6 posts:)

First of all I would like to Thank wpilr_nov12 & then everyone who contributed to this wonderful forum without which ,i wonder how many of us would end up with the solicitors.

Appointment was at 12:40,on 31st Jan. (Well Rescheduled couple of times,playing with my appointment :;). In fact it was never been a problem for me to book appointments( Solihull & Croydon) /reschedule both,cancelled one.

Arrived at 11:30
-Asked the security if i can go early, well replied back to wait for another 30 mins

-Going around the Lunar house for those 30mins time:)

-Between 12:00 and 12:45 completed -security chk,token given,payment (hsbc ) & Biometric done.

Now a looooong wait starts..

From 12:45 till 4:15 just sitting idle,sometimes sleeping,then looking ard,listening to other's case's,weird thinking in between like what if fire alarms,what if what if... wish if i brought my tab to watch a Bollywood rubbish...in the process my ears became so sensitive , thanks for the poor announcing system , a simple scrolling board shd help, TFL buses got one

Finally at 4:15 Token nbr called and window 37,
Nice lady asked 2 questions what for & which category( here i remember wpilr as he got the same q's asked )

Gave doc's which she asked for
SET(O)
Photos
Passport
LIUK
Payslips ( 8 months )
Bank statements
Employer ltr( From the forum)
P60's ( She specifically asked for it )
Ignored workpermit original & Holiday summary sheet.
and she is happy to see the photo copies of all the above except Set(o)Form.
and asked me to wait till she calls, i think its better to sit apposite cw window and to know what exactly cw is doing ,which form or doc is looking at...
I really donno why& where ppl get lost in thr dreams while their nbr is called 3-4 times & irritating me & cw's too. )

The process took around 45mins and finally after 5 hrs of stay in sweet lunar house,thr comes the sweet news...gave ALL the doc's back to me,except the form with a smile said to me congrats and then goodbye

Below some points might be helpful:

1) I was in dilemma if i have to fill the civil penalty(fare evasion in 2008),last minute thought and did filled 7.3 section( be honest even if not appears in crb, noting wrong in mentioning )
2)Go through section 11 and take what is asked n required, don't take a ton of papers,cartons,boxes..

Finally Organise(2 folders) & keep it simple ( silly).

Any Doubts/help...please proceed...if shy like me, then inbox it

All the best for the rest.

congrats mate. thanks for sharing.

Congrats well done

Not a requirement stated anywhere, but you should have it in case they ask you to prove economic activity over 5 years specially if you are a 5 yr work permit holder or tier 2 applicant

I wasn't asked for one and so as few of my friends. But others on this forum have been asked for P60's. if you don't have p 60s there is a sticky note on this forum how to get them

Hi! Gagan 1986

You were not asked to provide P60s. CW was admiring your Business Suit and how smart you looked.. Thanks for your advise will contact HMRC on Monday.

It all depends on your Application ,if the CW feels comfortable with it, you are o.k. Other wise they themselves can do the HMRC checks.

CONGRATULATIONS veji. Many thanks for sharing your Experience.
