Very interesting chweetgurl! Have you heard anything else since? I would be very angry if I were you. Your case is straight foward... I applied PEO 28th March no word yet... I am 285 days out of UK as my wife is czech.. Chweetgurl what email address did you use for Croydon PEO? I might email them to...

I think paying extra for a PEO is a rip off because it seems now you do not even get to meet your case worked. I went to Croydon PEO last year to get a Tier One extension and I met my case worker face to face and he asked me to quickly explain all the documents I had he then said OK you should be fi...

Still waiting here too...

Applied 28th March one week ago today.

Croydon PEO

Got the dreaded "more enquires letter"




I have a feeling it will be a long time...

Hi yes here is my info: Applied Croydon PEO ILR (1 year work permit, 4 years T1) 28/03/12 Nationality : Australian. 265 personal days outside of UK over 5 years (Wife is Czech so I spent many weekends and Xmas holidays there) Longest absence was for 32 days (Holidays in Australia) No request for any...

Unfortunately I did not provide a cover letter explaining the absences. In my letter from my employer they stated I am married to a Czech National and I visit the Czech republic very often. Then on the application under the area where it asks if I had been out for more than 180 days I wrote " M...

Hi Jaskiratbaweja.. I thought so.. So whats your gut feeing for my case?

Hi guys thanks for the replies.. Mandy I cant really find any official info about the absences I only found info on this website. Is it 180 in 6months? Do you have a link for that info? Mine was 275 over 5 years but in the past 12 months ive been out for 62 days... Portout - Oh that is bad news. Are...

So I also went to the Croydon PEO today (Wed 28th March 2012) for ILR. My story is I am Australian and my wife is from the Czech Republic. We met in Australia. She went back to the Czech Republic so I decided to move to London under a two year working holiday visa. We dated for five years and then g...

hey will congrats I was there today as well for ILR at 9am I think I know which one you were... I had 265 out of the UK because my wife is czech and they did not grant my ILR today it has gone off for more "checks"..


Not good...

Hi really? Anything to get around paying £1400 for my ilr sounds good we it married in Prague on 25th sep 2010 been together 7 years lived in London together for three years...

Does that help me get a British passport? Or do I still need to get ILR First?

Thanks for the advice!!

I see... one more question I am married to a woman from the Czech republic does that does help me to get a UK passport in any way?

Thanks for the advice...

Londonguy.

Yes I am aussie so I wouldnt need a visa to go back to oz or go back to the UK... I think I have decided to not go for my ILR at all... I doubt I will be here for another 2 yrs to get my passport... One more question guys.. Once you get ILR for a british passport does the 12 months start from when I...

Hi All, I am in a tricky situation. My ILR PEO is booked for Croydon on Wed March 28th. I think I should get it fine. I already have a biometric permit for my Tier 1 General. However I must travel back to Australia on April 5th which is only 1 week after my IRL appointment. So my question is whats t...
