ILR Success at Croydon (17/11/2014)

[subodh4341]

Thanks a ton to all contributors & bloggers of this forum. You all Saved my 1200 quids (solicitor fee + VAT Tax)

My first and last advice to all new ILR aspirants..

*********************Keep your application as "SIMPLE" as English alphabets***********************************

No extra cover letter is needed until or unless you have got something specific or very complex scenario to justify about your absences from UK ( > 180 days). Cover letter is just an extra burden .

My case :

Applicant - Self
Tier 2 - ICT (Issued in Nov,2009)
Got two extensions ( Dec 2012 & Sep 2014)
UK Absence days - 151 (All annual leaves)

Documents I submitted

• Dully Filled Application form SET (O)
• Two photographs

ORIGINALS & PHOTOCOPIES of below documents
• Passport
• Biometric Residence Permit Card
• A copy of previous Extension Biometric Residence Permit card.
• Attested Reference Letter from the Employer (for employment details and paid absences from UK)
• Last 12 Months Pay Slips (attested by my employer)
• LIUK Pass notification letter
• Point Based Calculator Summary
• University Degree (Original)
• Bank Statements (12 Months)
• P60s (5 years)
• Printout of SpreadSheet having Absence days from the UK
• Council Tax Bill (2014/15 )- For address proof

9:20 AM - Biometric was done & all Documents were submitted to the case worker.

10:05 AM - Documents ready for collection.
10:17 AM - I was out of building after checking my original documents (All photocopies were taken by case workers).


Additional Documents carried but not used .
• HMRC Self-Assessment statements
• E-Travel Tickets
• Payslips ( of annual leaves months)


After spending restless days in past one month, Now I am happy . And happy than ever .

All the best to new eligible ILR dreamers !!!

Stay blessed

subodh4341 @ Congratulations for your ILR . Is it P60 mandatory to submit for Tier 2 , In case of Tier 1 P60 is not Mandatory ? Kindly advise and revert back to us.

P60 Certificates are OPTIONAL.I used it only to show yearly consolidated tax deductions from my gross income.These documents might save Case workers time

[argus7]

Having all 5 years P60s is always good. But in case you don't have , you can always get Employment history from HMRC.

Dear All,

I have a question on the bank statement - I have online bank statement which i can print using a color printer and it bears my name; account number; the date of the statement; the financial institution’s name and logo.

Do I still need to get all these statements signed / attested by my Bank? I have requested the hard copy of the statement but I have been told by my bank that they will essentially do the same i.e. print the online copy using a color printer.

I have my appointment next week and not sure what to do next.

Thanks a lot

get it attested

[subodh4341]

Printouts of Online Bank Statements & Payslips have to be attested.

And if you have got soft copies Employer reference letter & absence letter, Print Outs of these documents also need to be attested.


Make sure you get coloured printouts.

[ILRUK2014]

thanks Subodh and Argus

I will get them attested after taking the colored printouts of the bank statement,

employer reference letter and pay slips are already attested

reg. the leave letter - do i need to have actual letter from employer ...i have e-tickets and will be supplying that and i have 125 leaves (which is less than 180)?

[subodh4341]

Yes , You need to have a letter from employer stating about your leaves & that should also say these leaves were fully paid.

[argus7]

Employer letter for absences need not be attested, as there is no mention in the policy guidance. However if absences are below , letter may not be required, But better to carry.
