Dmaswtart wrote:Hi,
I've been a silent member on this forum, but it has provided me a great insight into preparation of my ILR application, for which I'm extremely thankful.
Our recent ILR application was successful and I would like to share my experience which may be of help to others applying through this route. I am not the most experienced in this area, but happy to answer any questions to the best of my knowledge.
1. Category - ILR through the Tier 1 (General) Route
2. Number of dependents - 1
3. Total cost - £2986
4. PEO branch - Glasgow
5. Documents provided
a.) Set (O) Application Form, Payment Confirmation and Appointment Letter
b.) Photographs - 2 X Main Applicant and 2 X Dependent
C.) Payslips - 12 months
d.) Bank Statements - 12 months
e.) Life in the UK Test Letters - Main Applicant and Dependent
f.) English Language Knowledge - Degree Certificates for both Main Applicant and Dependent
g.) Absence Letter from Employer - Though my absences were < 180 days, since I had a letter from my Employer, I submitted it.
h.) P60's - 4 years
i.) Reference Letter - Again, I was provided one by my employer, so took it along, though I don't think it's mandatory.
j.) Passports and BRP Cards - Main Applicant and Dependent
i.) Co-habitation Evidence - 3 years Council Tax letters, 3 years Rental Agreements, 2 years Joint Account Statements (I printed locally and got it stamped by the bank)
j.) Covering Letter - To disclose 2 FPN's for littering offences. Did not go to court/result in a conviction etc. Just paid the penalty and that was the end of it. According to the form, FPN's need not be disclosed, but I did not want to leave anything to chance.
6. Absences more than 180 days in any of the qualifying years - No
7. Any Additional Comments - I had carried additional cohab documents just in case. In addition to these I also carried photo copies of all the above, which I believe helped speed up the process.
I believe the most important paperwork that was of interest for those applying under this route are the Payslips, Bank Statements, Life in the UK test pass and English Language Knowledge, because that were the ones they were more keen on seeing. Also the staff were very polite and professional. The whole process took around 2 hours.
I think I have not missed anything and as said earlier feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my knowledge. All the best!
Thanks

Hello mate
Congrats on your ILR
Please can you answer regarding your cohab documents----------- i.) Co-habitation Evidence - 3 years Council Tax letters, 3 years Rental Agreements, 2 years Joint Account Statements (I printed locally and got it stamped by the bank). You onl y provided 3 things and nothing else because i was under the impression that you need to provide 6 documents.
thanks
Below is the template of the absence letter. It's not mandatory for absences < 180 days, but I carried it just in case. From dates were the arrival date in destination country and To dates are the arrival date back in the UK. Hope this helps!FayEng wrote:Hi Dmaswtart
