loads of my queries. Those were really precious & timely. Thanks a lot.
My Scenario: TIER2 ICT - One Company all 5 years.
Before applying the Concerns i had were
a) I was away from UK for 89 days on a medical leave. So wasnt sure this will create me a problem.
b) My Spouse havent completed continuos 2 years. Overall she lived in UK for 3+ years but was away
from UK on multiple instances. Last entry was Sep 2012 and hence didnt have continuos 2 years.
Appointment at 13:00 PM on 27-Feb-2014
12:25: Reached Liverpool HO.
12:30: Security Checks got over.
12:30: PEO Token was given.
12:40: Our token no was called for to go to a counter. Document verification was done by one of the staffs. Took 10 mins and he checked Passport, BRP Cards, application & fees confirmation letter. Asked few questions like a) Do you know immigrations rules (I Replied Yes). b) Do you want me to explain it now (I Replied NO). C) Are you aware your application will be rejected if you dont satify immigration rules (I Replied Yes). Finally gave another token number, all our documents asked us to wait in the waiting area.
13:10: Our token no was called for to go to a counter. This staff asked us to handover the application & fees receipt. After checking them, asked me to put all the supporting documents i want them to use to support my case. He didnt ask for any specific doc. Just told handover all documents that you want us to use to support your case today. I had 4 folders of docs (Originals + Photocopies). Just handed over all
4 folders. He asked me to wait in the waiting area & and told will call back in 15 mins.
13:25: Same staff called our token number. Handed over one sheet and passports for biometrics. He asked me to wait in the waiting area & and told we will be called for Biometrics.
13:35: Our token no was called for to go to Biometric Room. Lady was sitting inside who checked our passports, scanned them & took photographs of us. Took 15 mins there.Back to same counter & handover the passports & Biometrics sheets. By that time our folders & application were bundled and kept aside. Passports were put inside it now.
13:50: Back to waiting area.We could see everyone's folders were kept in a queue and case workers were
taking one by one. We were eagerly but nervously waiting for ours to be picked up. Usually takes an hour from this stage. But seems yesterday was a busy day. After a long wait our folders were taken at 15:19 PM.
15:19: Case worker started reviewing our folders.
16:08: Case worker completed the checks and printed out a letter containing the outcome of our case. She handed over the folders and outcome letter to one of the staffs.
16:15: That staff called our token number and informed our application is successful and we all 3 got the ILR
Phew...Gave 3 sheets. 1 for each of us and asked us to verify all the details. Everything was OK.
Got back those 3 sheets and gave one letter which stated our application is through. Informed our BRP cards will be sent to our postal address with in 7-10 working days.
That was our ILR journey yesterday. Happy Ending. Happy to take any questions from ILR aspirants. Good luck to all.
