ajani, congratulations!ajani wrote:Alina76,
I Booked an appointment to process my application at Glasgow PEO for the 1st April 2008 as i was unable to get an earlier appointment at any of other PEOs.l live in Bournemouth, South West of England which is too far off from Glasgow.
I had no option but to accept to travel to Glasgow because i am desperate to travel out of UK. I had not travelled since 2006 because i had used up more than the allowed 180days absence. Travelling to glasgow to Bournemouth was not much of a pain because of the availability of Ryannair low cost travel from Bournemouth airport.
I arrived at the glasgow PEO at exactly 10.00am and it took me about 10minutes to go through the airport type security check. At exactly 10.15 the caseworker called my number. She was very friendly and requested that i pass all documents into her tray. She went through for few minutes, asked me when i was granted HSMP and cross checked this on her computer. Soon after, she asked me if i had my daughters application with me so that she can approve both.
When i made the appointment, i also made a separate one for my daughter, because she was over 18 and had to make a separate application. However, on the eve of journey to glasgow she told me she was not keen on going and that we should send her own application by post.
So apart from asking the date i was granted HSMP, the only other question i was asked was about my daughters application. I explained to her that i will send it by post and she advised i do so soon.
The interesting thing about this is that all this while, i had not even made the payment, after this discussion she gave me back my application and documents with the inscription 'ILR GRANTED' on the application and advised that i proceed to the cashier to pay.
After making the payment, i was directed to another lady who took photocopies of my documents and asked me to wait to collect our passports. At exactly 12.05 the passports were ready with the visas. To give an indication of how less busy they were, i submitted 6 passports for myself, wife and 4 children, yet all were ready by 12.05.
Documents submitted
Certificate of Incorporation.
Business Bank account.
Personal Bank account.
Letter from my accountant stating accounts not yet prepared.
Life in UK test results for myself and wife.
I had some payslips and p60s from previous employment with me but actually forgot to submit them as they were in a separate folder and she did not ask for them.
I am now travelling out on monday and fully utilise the 90days allowance before making the Naturalisation application next year. Hope this helps.
