Hi,

I came to UK on the T2 (General) work permit category back in September 2006 with my wife & 6 months old son. Since then I have been working for the same company & have secured a work permit which expires in September 2013. I know that I don’t have to rush to get my ILR, as I have the legal right to stay in the country until 2013. But I think it’s wise for me to get ILR whilst I can before the Home office stats to change its rules & regulations for immigrants.

I did some of the homework to prepare for my ILR application. But I would be grateful if some of you can confirm what I’m thinking (going to do) is right under the current ILR rules.

1. I should complete the SET (O) form for me as a main applicant & for my wife & son as dependents. Cost of the application under the Premium PEO will be £2565 (main applicant + 2 Dependents).

2. Following supporting documents would be required;
a. All Passports (Mine + 2 dependents)
b. Last 12 months Bank Statements
c. Last 12 months Salary Slips
d. Employer Letter
e. Life in the UK test certificates
f. Last 2 year’s proof of cohabitation
g. Photographs

3. I have a daughter who was born in UK a year ago. I have decided not to include her as a dependent under the ILR application – am I correct thinking that I can get the Citizenship for her under Section 1 (3) using the [MN1 form] for the cost of £ 460?

Thank you in advance for all the kind responses …

Thanks for the update on the fee @jimmylau8080.

You mentioned that you’re planning to do the same. Are we agreeing that the suggested steps which I mentioned in my above post are correct? Or have I missed anything…

Take your P60s too for the 5 years.

Noted. Thanks @ksab.

No problem. Also, look at the posts in this forum for employer letter forum. In my opinion that's the document that is the most important as it has quite a lot of information.
