ILR Success Solihull PEO Sep 2013 - Tier 1 - 5 years

[praveenlr]

Dear forum members

I am very grateful to all of you for posting lot of information and clearing my doubts regarding Tier-1 and ILR visas.

I have got my ILR approved at Solihull PEO.

Tier-1 History
on Tier-1 from July 2008 to Nov 2013 (5 years 4 months)
ILR qualifying period is - Sep 2008 to Sep 2013
Absence from UK during the qualifying period:
51 days in India while not employed.

Appointment at - 12:00
Arrived at -11:20 (simple security check and then gave me a token)
Called me to the counter at - 12:00 (Paid Online. So no further payment process)

Lady (Asian) at the counter asked me the online payment sheet first and then gave me a quesstionaire to answer and sign. She then asked me for the Appl form. she gone through it and gave me the payment page(Appl) back for my reference. Then she asked to submit all the documents that I wish to provide in support of my application. I have only given
12 Months Bank Statements +copies
12 Months Pay slips +copies
LIUK test certificate +copy

And thats all, no other document..not even cover letter. I was bit worried as she did not ask anything else. She made a note of what I have given. But I have all other documents with me which I thought of giving only if they ask. (This confidence I got from this forum where I have read the experience from recent ILR approved cases who said..keep the application simple.) She asked me to go and wait in the waiting area.

Biometrics taken - 12:20
Biometrics cleared - 13:05 (then told me to come back at 15:45)
Arrrived back - 15:35 (Documents were ready for pick up)

Thank you very much
