This forum has been a real helping hand for me while arranging my application for ILR.
My application was approved today so just sharing my experience as it may help others as well.
I completed 5 years on HSMP+Tier-1. Below are the documents I submitted.
payslips + employer letter
bank statements
Life in the uk test
Absences from the UK self written sheet (I had the employer reference letter of absences but didnt submit, though I carried the ref letter with me, so incase if CW had asked me I would have provided them the letter without any problem).
& Photocopy of all above documents including passports
I preferred to kept things simple rather confusing CW by flooding them with unnecessary documents.


The Croydon PEO staff was pleasant and courteous.
Waiting area has LCD screens all over to keep an eye on your token number
Waiting area also has Child Play Area & Multi Faith Prayer Room
Closest Parking options are:

Hope it helps.
Thanks
