ILR Queries

[dude_123]

Hello all

I am planning to apply for the ILR in February 2015 based on my 5 years continuous stay in UK under Tier 1 General Visa Category (Initial grants plus two extensions). I have booked for LIU Test in Jan 2015 and once I pass it , I will book for ILR appointment in Feb 2015.

Below is my stay details. Let me know your view?

I have noticed that UK Immigration officer didn’t stamp my in-ward entry once in my passport. Is this a problem? I believe UKBA should have my travel history records.

Below is list of documents with my questions on few of them. Please advise and also tell if any additional document needed or any other comments

- Appointment booked confirmation e-mail

- Two Passports (Old & New)

- Biometric Resident Permit (one )
i have new Biometric card from last extension . previous was returned to UKBA at that time.

- Passport size photo (2 nos)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Life in the UK Pass Notification letter

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Point based system summary online
( I believe this one should be the same calculator which I used last time for Tier 1 point calculation online)

(no earlier than one calendar month before the date of the application)

- 12 Payslip
(no earlier than one calendar month before the date of the application)

( Points were awarded on same degree certificate at time of Tier1 grants/extension)

- UK NARIC letter
( I am just taking this for safe side)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have only last three year P60 , so I will take the detailed history from HMRC for safer side

- Employment tax history letter from HMRC for last 5 years.
- NI Contribution Letter for last 5 years for safer side
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere i have read that i would also need to present the letter for my visa grants and extensions which i don't have. my initial visa was stamped in passport and then was granted extensions on BRP . is it problem?
