Thanks to all the Moderators, Gurus, members, etc. of this forum for all your suggestions. I was monitoring this forum and got lot of useful information. Yesterday, I have got ILR visa stamped along with dependents under 5 year category (WP -> T1(G)).

I had Liverpool PEO appointment on 28th morning. As usual they asked me to come 30 mins early for security check and all. I was there with my dependents (Wife & son). we went through the security procedure and after that I was given the ticket and I have been asked to take a seat in the waiting area and wait for my turn.

I made the payment and waited for my turn.

My ticket number was called (15 mins early) and I went to the counter with all my dependents. The caseworker greeted me and asked me who the main applicant is, to which I said I am the main applicant. After that she asked in which category I am applying. I said under Tier 1 (general) migrant category. He checked my application form and said she has to go through some checks with my passport and took 2 minutes on her computer to do checks. After that he asked me give the following docs:

• My 12 month pay slips and bank statement
• All dependent passports
• Child birth certificates
• LIUK certificates
• Photographs
• Photo copies of all the documents.
• Cohabitation documents were not asked.
• P60 was not asked.

After that she processed the application for 20 mins and called my number. She then informed me that Iam grated ILR along with my dependants. I was very happy to hear the news

i applied for ILR for my UK born son as well as we have a plan to travel. But you can also apply through MN1 if there is no plan to travel for 6 months.

Good luck to all the applicants.

Hi,

Congratulations for the success!

I have few queries, if you could help...
1. The bank statement should be original? Or that duplicate copies on bank letterhead is fine?
2. If the leaves for all 5 years are less than 180, do we still need letter from employer?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I have just had a response to my question which is similar to your (1).It seems that the "Duplicate" back statements are ok.
For (2) please wait for moderators to reply.
Thanks.

no, in my case I didnt show any employer letter for the absences less than 180 days. My total absences were less than 180.

Thanks aspirant09. Hope it works with duplicate statements.

Thanks Ihope4ilr. Mine are less than 180as well.

Thanks for all the help.

thanks all for your help.
