SET (O) Application at PEO - 29Oct

[HSMPLOCHA]

1. Previous Visa: WP(1/11/2007) + HSMP + Tier1
2. Date of expiry of current leave: Feb 2013
3. Application form used for ILR: SET (O)
4. Number of dependants applying at same time: 2
5. In person application: 29-10-2012
6. Payment mode : credit card
7. PEO office: Croydon

After completing the intial checks and geting a token number, i went straight to the payment counter, made the payment and awaited my number. Its hard to her the announcement. I was called to the counter and the lady checked my paper work for eligibility. I was asked to wait again for Biometrics. Once the biometrics have been completed your dependants are not required to wait. they can go home especially if you have kids with you.

I waited for three hours after that to be called for a case worker as they were short on that day. Finally number was called and the caseworker took the token and documents and asked me sit in the waiting lounge.

CW went through the documents and after 30mins came back and told me its all approved, returned my passport, originals and told me the biomtrics will come by post. If I do not get them I should email home office.

Thank you all for the responses and help that I have sought through the cases on this site. It is a tough journey for one and all and its good to be free from the burden. I wish you all the very best. If i can help in anyway please do reply to this post and I will try and answer any question I may have experienced.
