Denver2k...sincere apologies for not interpreting your question correctly.

Deep is right! The clock starts ticking only after you enter UK. For some reason I assumed that you are mentioning the UK entry stamping in your question instead of the work permit stamping! Sorry.

This should be ok!

Infact I checked this while booking my appointment!!

Many thanks for confirming this Chetan!

Also, thanks for your prompt response.

Hi, I have finally managed to book an family appointment in PEO Croydon office for this week. However, I am not planning to take my wife & daughter with me for the appointment due to the short notice. Is it a MUST to present an "absence letter" for dependents not accompanying me for the appointment ...

Alternatively...you can tell the other person when you are planning to cancel...so that they can call and book the appointment Not sure how it works though!

Congratulations Bhumi!

This should be really helpful to others. Under which category you applied for ILR?

Congratulations!

I have an appointment this Friday in Croydon office!! Hope everything goes well!!!

Many thanks for the quick response gidoc!!!

That makes me feel more comfortable. Hope everything goes well on Friday.

Hi, I have entered UK on 2nd Apr 2005 and from them on I was in WP for 4 yrs and Tier-1 for the last 1 yr. I am completing my 5yrs on 1st Apr 2010.

Thanks gidoc & SMehta! That makes sense now!!

Thanks for clarifying Diago & Cheers2boss!
I will book the family appointment.

Also, I believe that the new fees from 6th Apr 2010 is NOT applicable for ILR applications on the basis of Tier-1 (as the new fees in applicable only for non-PBS routes). Please confirm if possible.

Thanks again!

any comments?

Deep...you are right. Even I am under the same confusion after reading the document in Home Office website.

Can some senior members shed some light? Thanks!

Surely that is dependent upon your date of application. Hi John...Thanks for your response. I understand the concept regarding the date of the application. However, I am keen to know whether this new fees is applicable for my case after 6th April. My application will be for an ILR and I am ...

Hi...I am eligible for ILR and I am planning to file my application (along with 2 of my dependants, wife + kid under 16). I will be using the Set O form (as I was in WP and later moved to Tier-1). Is the new fees applicable in my case? Old Fees for Premium service (Self+2 dependants) is £1120 (1020 ...

Congrats Diago! Many thanks for sharing your valuable experience!! In my case, I have 2 dependants (wife + kid). But I am not planning to bring them along with me during the appointment in PEO office. I assume that you have booked your appointment online. For my case, do I need to book a family ...
