Hi,
My ILR was successfully granted today at Croydon, Thanks to All from this forum for helping me with various queries
Main Applicant + 2 Dependents
Appointment Time : 08:20 31/12/2012
Reached home office by 07:45, completed security , collected token & payment completed by 08:00
08:10 - Called by Case worker 1 for initial verification of docs & asked to wait again for biometric
08:30 - Called for biometric , all completed in 10 minutes & waited again.
Around 09:00 - different case worker called our token & asked for originals & asked us to wait in waiting area.
Waited for close to 2 hrs & case worker called again around 11:00 to confirm all is fine , gave the letter confirming settlement & informed biometric will be sent by post & will take upto 10 days
The reason it took so much time was they took photocopies of all the originals, i should have given them along with orignals(my mistake)
Documents submitted:
1. Photos
2. Set(0) form 12/12
3. Life in UK(main & dependents)
4. Letter from employer
5. Payslips(12 months)
6. P60 last 4 years
7. Bank Statement (12 months)
8. Masters Degree Certificate
9. Points Calculator Assessment
10. Previous UKBA letters( HSMP & Tier1 approval letters)
11. Marriage Certificate
12. Council tax for last 5 years( had both Main & Dependent's name)
13. General covering letter
No questions were asked, documents collected, waited for 2 hours & then settlement letter received.
I was outside UK for 76 days in total in last 5 years & didn't submit employer letter for absence nor did i fill section 6.3 in the form(left it blank)
My wife had gone to INdia for maternity for around 6 months in 2010, again no questions asked regarding this
Thanks Again to all in the forum for helping
Karthik.
