Hi

Congrats on your ILR

I am due to apply for mine next week and am a bit concerned about the Croydon centre as I havent heard good reviews.

Please can you elaborate on your experience as my appt is also at the same time. Was there a long queue to enter and what about the case worker?

Thanks

Hi

Just needed to check something with you RAJEE120, does it not require last 3 months wage slips and bank statements instead of 12 months for Tier 2 General applying for ILR?

Hello Kais,

Yes, 3 months Bank statements and payslips are sufficient as per application form. But I took advice of many people on this forum who had submitted 12 months Bank Statements/Payslips. If you can, better give them 12 months Bank Statements/Payslips.

Regards,
R

Hello DNEOLA,

My experience at Croydon PEO was very good.

- My Appointment was at 9.45am
- Reached at 9.15am (as instructed) and they immediately let us inside
- Security check, Payment/application verification, biometrics enrollment all got over in 30 minutes.
- Got result after 2 hours at 11.30am

Nothing to worry. You will be given a token and wait for the token to be called. Good Luck!

Regards,
R
