Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:39 pm
Hi,
First of all thanks to all who contributed on this forum to share their experiences and providing advice.
I got my ILR confirmation yesterday 13th March 2012.
My Case Details:
HSMP JR - 5 years
Appointment : 1pm
Reached 12.15pm
Security checks done, then long queues before getting the token - reason only one window open, waited for approx 30 mins.
After token advised to go 1st floor. I was with kids so waited to be accompanied on the lift. (you cannot use lift without UKBA staff)
Next at the payment counter - payment done and was told to go in the waiting area in the middle.
After 15 mins Token called - was asked for the passports/application form and photos. Then told to wait at the far end of the hall near bio metrics room.
After 5 mins Token called for biometrics, bio metrics done, then told to go back and wait in the middle part of the waiting area.
After 20 mins token called and was asked to handover the form/passports/photos/supporting documents. Again told the case will take approx 2 hours so if I want to go out but come back before 4 o clock, as they wont let us in after 4pm.
We went to whitcard centre to buy food for kids as the canteen was closed, came back to peo at approx 3.45pm.
Approx 5 o clock token called and was handed over a piece of paper with confirmation of approval and was told biometric card will be delivered in 7 working days.
My experience - overall good - you get results the same day
I included all the standard documents that have been listed on this forum.
Again thanks to every one, please ask if I can help your questions.
Please somebody could guide me to the right thread for things I need to do after my ILR
Regards
Best of Luck with your ILR applications.
