ILR - Couple of questions

[guly3]

Hi,
I am applying for ILR today. Please, if any one in the board answer my questions asap that would be really appreicated.

I intially came to the UK on work permit, working as a software engineer. Then I switched to another job and then to HSMP.

The question I have is that I don't have the Work Permit document for my first work permit. I had to give it back to my original employer. Would it cause any problems?

I am sending the following documents with ILR application

1) PaySlips for the last 4 years
2) Bank Statements for the last 4 years.
3) HSMP approval letter and extension letter
4) Work Permit document of one job.
5) Council tax Bill
6) Mortgage Statement
7) Life in UK Test


Have I missed anything? Should I send something else based on other people's experience?

I have no gaps in my work permit and HSMP stay and have been out of the country for a total of 136 days.

Any help, comments, suggestions would be most welcome.

Many thanks
Gul

You going for ILR after 4 years?

No I am going to ILR after 5 years but I don't have all the financial record for the whole 5 years. I started maintaining record properly since 2004.

Hi,

I finally got my ILR today. It took them 6 weeks to process my application. I was on WP for two years and then later to HSMP. During my initial 2 years on WP I switched jobs a couple of times. Probably that was what took them longer to decide.

Thanks everyone on the boards. Its been a great help

hi,

Did you get a letter with the ILR, confirming the ILR in a BIA letterhead ? or did you just get the 2 page information sheet ?

Thanks.

I just got a two pages information sheet. Does it make any difference?

Hi ,

congratulations.

Did you only supply documents ( economic activity) for 4 years as required for HSMP holder, reason I am asking this is that I have got only 4 years documents (pay slips, p-60) same as you. This is my 5th year under HSMP though.

please provide complete list whatever you have submitted.

thanks for your time.

Thanks.

Why are you soooooooo much worried about the ILR confirmation on BIA's letterhead? The biggest confirmation is on your passport, every time you need confirmation just flick the page where the ILR vignette is. My one is on page 11 of my passport. It would be handy if you also remember the page no so that you do not need to flick every pages to find it.

What do you say guys? Am I not right?
