Hi bnk9,bnk9 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2016 8:54 amHi,
Just wanted to share my experience here for someone who is looking for help. I have applied for ILR yesterday (15th Nov) at Croydon center on a premium application. My settlement (ILR) got approved Below are the list of documents i carried and some tips.
1. SET(O) Application.
2. Application Booking Checklist.
3. Employer letter stating annual pay, continuous employment and absences from the UK.
4. Payslips for 6 months (3 months is enough)
5. P60s for last 5 years (not mandatory, but good to carry)
6. Bank Statements for 6 months (3 months is enough)
7. Life in the UK test PASS certificate.
8. Master's degree certificate to prove English language.
Appointment Process: 9AM Appointment
8:30AM - Reached Croydon office. Gone through security check.
8:45AM - Reception on 3rd floor. They checked the appointment time and provided with a token number (remember this will be the token for the entire day. memorize it as you will hear the number several times on the announcements during the process)
9:15AM - Case registration - They took all documents and put them in a plastic envelop and asked me to wait for biometric process.
9:45AM - Biometric registration - Took Finger prints and photo. I was given two options. To wait at the cafeteria until the case is considered i.e. 60-90 minutes (or) Leave the building and they will call when there is an outcome of the application. I chose to wait at the cafeteria.
10:45AM - An announcement which said due to some IT technical problems the application process is bit delayed. There are screens in the cafeteria with token numbers displayed with statuses.
11:30AM - Moment of truth My token was announced to collect the documents. The case worker smiled and told me "Your application has been successful and will receive BRP card in 5 days time"
Tips:
1. Take photo copies of all the documents you are providing, except SET(O) application form. This will make the case worker's life easier and chances of your application being processed quicker than others.
