ILR PEO successful - Solihull..

[rakesh5883]

Finally after a month's document collation, I finally received my ILR today at Solihull. Thanks to this forum and the everyone who answered my silliest questions. Thanks a lot to all.

I had a overall good experience but nothing worth sharing as far input/feedback from their side cause, nowadays the process of checking documentation, face to face interviews are not being practiced ( in detail below).

My appointment today was at 9.20 @ Solihull and after the airport style check, I was called by one of the admin guys ( they collate the documentation from the applicant) who asked me "Give me every document, copies you've got" , I then took my neatly arranged and labelled documents and gave it to him. He just stacked one above the another ( regardless of whether it was a copy or original) and made a mountain document set ( it did make me cry a bit, when he disregarded all my work and just kept one above the other) , which he put in a bag and then said "Leave for your biometrics, and then leave the building and we'll call you".

My ILR application was for me , my wife and my toddler son.

No questions asked at all?
How long did they take for that call?

[rakesh5883]

Yes - None at all.
I got the call at 1, in around 3.5 hrs !

The worst part is they took every copy, document and letter(addressed to them).
