Hi All,

First of all thanks a lot to everybody and this forum who helped me through the application process. I got my ILR approved at PEO Croydon. It was a very quick and smooth process.

Security check (Ground Floor)
Passport check (Ground Floor)
Payment made (Third Floor)
Passport/photo check (Third Floor)
Biometric done (Third Floor)

Once you clear security, you are given token number and sent to 3rd floor.

Once you are called, you are asked to pay first and then wait in the same room for your case to be registered. During the case registration, you are requested to share all the documents that you want to submit.

Congratulations!
so you did not submit any employer signed letters for your absence, did you?
THanks

Thanks,
No, I did not submit paid leaves letters from current/previous employers. I had all letters except one. One of the previous employers has closed the business due to recession. I did take the original payslips with me (for that period), but did not submit with the application. Hope this helps
