Hi All,
My ILR and my Dependant application was approved on 12/06 at Liverpool PEO and I would like to share my experience.
My current Visa is Tier2 (ICT) which was extended 3 times and the initial VISA was on Work Permit.
Appointment at 10:00 AM. Reached the PEO at 9:35. Got the token and was called straight away and below is the conversation
1. Asked for form, passport and BRP for me and my dependant - Provided
2. Then the person asked me few questions like If I know the Immigration rules, Am i applying within the 28 days of qualifying period, If my application is rejected, the fee wont be refunded and asked me to sign to sign on that document.
3. Another token was given to take the remaining payment
4. Called immidiately for Payment and was asked to wait.
After 5 mins I was called again at a different counter, the person took the form, passport (both) and BRP (both) and asked me to wait as he will set up the case in the system which will take 10 mins and told me that in the meantime he will send me for the biometrics.
After 10 mins, the person called me and asked for all the documents to support my application. I had submitted the following documents with photocopies:-
1) Passport - Both
2) BRP - Both
3) Life in the UK pass certificate - For Both
4) Employer Letter
5) Last 12 months Salary Slips
6) Last 12 months Bank Statements
7) Last 5 years P60
Marriage Certificate
9) Degree Certificate
10) 2 years Cohabitation proofs
I asked him if he needs previous VISA approval letters as well - He said No
He then told me that he will give my documents to case worker who was sitting behind to look into my case.
My Employer letter had previous SOC code i.e. SOC2000 code however my annual salary is more than the one defined in SOC2010.
For Cohabitation proofs, I had provided the following documents (I had changed 4 addresses in last 2 years):-
1) Council Tax Mar2011 to Aug2011 (1st address)
2) Council tax Sep2011 to Mar2012 (2nd address)
3) Council tax Apr2013 to Mar2014 (Latest address)
1) Requested Letter from DVLA stating all my and my dependant addresses on which our replacement licences were issued. It covered all 4 addresses.
These 2 proofs covered my 2 years cohabitation but I did not had 3rd proof so i got a letter from my owner that I was staying at 1st address along with below rental agreement
1) Rent Aggrement dated Sep2011 (2nd address)
2) Rent Aggrement dated Apr2013 (latest address)
1) I had added NHS letters as well for 2nd and latest address to be on safe side.
I waited for 1 and 1/2 hour and the caseworker called me and told that my ILR has been approved and my BRP will arrive in 7 to 10 working days.
I have received my BRP as well on 14/06 which was surprise to me to receive it so early.
I sincerely want to thank the members of this forum specially Kevin24 for helping me out.
Sorry for the long post however I wanted to put the details for other members.
All the Best
Cheers
