Sorry Moderators, I opened an new topic as I couldn't find the right way to post this on 'Successful PEO/PSC ILR applications' thread.

1. Category - Tier 2 General to ILR (5 year route)

6. Absences more than 180 days in any of the qualifying years - None

7. Any Additional Comments.
The whole process took 3hrs. Arrived the centre at 08:15am (early morning appoitment), given token at 08:50am, called in for application submission at 09:10am, Biometric done at 09:40am, Received approval letter at 11:40am.

Any other Issue:
For early morning appointment premium service charge was mentioned as £75 for appointment. But I was given a shock that it is £75 per applicant and had to pay £225 for 3 people. Other than that all positive experience.

Many thanks for all advice and Good Luck.

Hi,

Did your employer give a standard employment letter or did he mentioned "Foreseeable Future" as well?

[sparkyram]

Congrats .. How many days before your appointment date you got your reference letter from current employer ?

And does your letter had all the info such as SOC code, foreseeable future and purpose of the letter as ILR from your employer ?

i heard My current employer won't give letter specific for ILR. Hence looking for some details

[itskrish]

I got my employers letter a week before appointment. It should include SOC code, ‘Foreseeable future’ statement (this is keyword), annual salary and a statement that my salary is well above Occupation guidance rates.

But mine didn’t include from/to dates for UK absence. Instead my HR gave me a sealed and stamped print screen of my annual holidays from our timesheet.
