ILR APPROVED
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2013 1:06 pm
Finally got my ILR approved last week.
I want to thank all those that helped by replying to my queries.
This forum rocks, It really helped me put things in perspective during both my Tier 1 extension and ILR application.
I applied using the Super premium service as my case was a little bit complicated and I really didn’t want UKBA holding onto my passport for long as I need to travel soon.
Complication of my case arises from the fact that part of my earnings is overseas earning.
Visa Category – HSMP + Tier 1G
3 dependants
Documents submitted
Set (O) Form
Payslips from UK
Bank statements from UK
Overseas payment certificates
Overseas bank statement
Letters from employers and clients
Life in the UK test for myself and my wife
P60s for past 3 yrs
Employment history letter from HMRC
Cohabitation documents (council tax bill for last 2 years, utility bill for past 2 yrs, various letters with wifes name over the last 2yrs)
Cover letter explaining reason for all absences with evidence where required. (All my absences were within permitted allowance in line with immigration rules)
Detailed cover letter explaining how I do my job as most of my work is done from home, though I have clients in the UK and abroad.
Documents were collected by a courier company on Wednesday the 13th of February.
On Saturday, I got a letter from UKBA asking for employment contract from overseas company/client.
AS I had this with me already, I sent it straight away with next-day-delivery service.
Biometrics team arrived at my place at 11:30am Monday morning to take biometrics.
It turns out their dongle couldn’t receive 3G network in the area hence the software wouldn’t load up, so we had to travel down to Croydon to do our biometrics on the day (wasn’t happy about this and made this known to UKBA)
Was informed on Tuesday the 19th of February that ILR had been granted.
All original documents have been returned and I am awaiting BRPs
Good luck to you all and i hope and pray that God's favour will shine on you all.
