Thank you all for the advice & information, I have getting on this site.
My case was straight forward HSMP + Tier 1 (% yearsbeing completed on the 20th Feb 2012). One dependent (weife). Did not apply for the ILR for child as planning to apply for the BC directly as he was born in UK. Had gone with wife and the son.

Had an appointment at PEO Croydon today at 11:15
Arrived at 10:45 hrs. Ref no. for the appointment checked at the gate.
Asked to wait outside for about 15 min. Called in for airport type security check. Then the form and passports checked in the next counter.
Asked to go to 1st floor for payment which went through smoothly. Given a token number.
No queue at the payment window by Credit card.
Had called up the card company yesterday.

Asked to wait in the Hall n wait for our number, which was called within 5 minutes. Went to the CW at 11:35 who was very quiet and understanding.
He competently started checking different details and doing enteries on the computer. After about 30 min he asked for the documents.
12 months Salary slips n Bank statements.
LIUK test results
He asked for P60,s (didnt specify how many?). Told him that I have got employment history grom HMRC for last 5 years n he was happy.
Co-hab documents. Offered him the marriage certificate which he was not interested in. I had only 2 which were in joint names and rest were individually addressed. Was happy to choose from the bundle.
Asked for Letter from employer which I had.

At 12:35, he said that everything is Ok and come back in 2 hours. So went out and returned at 14:30. Again the same security check. Passport wasn't ready.Was called to collect the passports at 15:15 with ILR stamped on both. Checked them n back to home.

Thanks again to one n every-one
:D

Congrats.

They checked the documents for about an hour. That means it is a thorough check.

I think instead of (% yearsbeing completed on the 20th Feb 2012) , he wanted to say (5 years being completed on the 20th Feb 2012).

It’s just a typo as the percentage sign is at the same key as 5).

Yes, the CW was writing lot of things on his pad and entering stuff in the computer. He calculated my total earnings and also days out of country which were only 62 days. I just kept sitting in front of him and answered any querries he had which were very few. My wife n kid got bored and walked away :lol:

Hi macgyver

you mentioned HSMP stamp on 12 Feb 2007 and Tier 1 on 12 Feb 2009...how long was the Tier1 valid?


how many days after HSMP stamping did you come to UK?
