Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 7:23 am
Folks,
Long live this site creator ,moderators and every thread associated to it.
Experience was Terrific overall!!
My case: Single Employer throughout. WP+WP Extension+ Tier 1 (G)
1 dep. & current visa expiring in April 2012. Absences within limit.
Complication 1: Lost pay slip due to Address Change
I lost one of the last 12 month payslip due to address change last year but I got reference letter issued from HR regarding same.
Complication 2: 2 year stay clause for Dependant
My spouse was in UK for 2 year and 2.5 months on the date of application but absolute duration spent in UK was around 1 year 9 months. in fact one single gap was more than 4.5 months in one strech
wish it will be helpfull for some applicants!!
I had my explanation ready that time spent outside UK but with the main applicant can be included in 2 year.
Interview experience: checked in early, around 9:00 AM ,
provided with Ticket by 9:30.
Interview started at 0940 hrs
Interview finished by 0950 hrs
Case worker Exp. :Most humble and polite crew, one could have met.
I was asked for my 12 month payslip+ 12 bank statement+ LIUK(2)+ Co hab( I provided NHS card, Driving license , one utility bill)
Intention was to provide at least 1 doc from 2010 and 1 from 2011
I had following docs handy , but all were not enquired upon.
1) Driving License, NHS Medical Cards
2) Utility Bills( EDF/Veolia) Copies of E.ON
3) Tenancy Agreement Letters (2010-2011) addressed to me and my spouse. Post Office Travel Insurance
4) Letters from Council, Local GP and Hospital
5) My spouse employment Records (Payslip, Bank statement, Employment reference Letter)
Excelent staff !! n not coz I have the stamping done. I found staff polite and courteous enough to keep every applicant updated after SLA.
Once docs were accepted, I was told to make payment and also that "ILR is going to be granted today". I understand they validate and verify our doc also CRB check for all applicants post payment.
for some reason, I was handed over passport with some extra delay( around 3.5 hr total). During the streched hrs, I enjoyed the thrill though.
I strongly recommend to reach PEO ASAP because if you are done during daytime, one can surely sit at "Jimmys Spices" for the refreshment. £6.99 lunch buffet thats a steal!! Not sure about weekend rate, heard PEO is open though. I remember dinner buffet was £9.99.
Once again big thanks to the community for putting tremendous effort and collecting invaluable information at one place. Hats off to you guys!!
c ya around and Good Luck all!!
