Hi Guys,
GOT ILR AT CROYDON PEO ON 24TH JULY WITH 2 DEPENDENTS
My appointment was scheduled at 14:30. So, we reached Croydon at 12:00. Parked our car at NCP opposite to Lunar House and made our move towards PEO. We knew that we were early so decided to wander in the mall for a while and relax ourselves. We reached PEO at 13:00 and just took the chance to enter. Security guard asked us the appointment time and I told its around 14:00. He asked us to go back and stay in the Blue waiting Line as there is no enough room to take the people in. After 10 minutes security guard called us and asked to go through security and X-Ray Scan. We approached one of the counter, the lady on the otherside asked to give the Application Form, Last 3 months payslips, Bank Statements, P60s and P45s. She asked the appointment reference number and entered the details in the computers. She printed a page of our appointment details and gave backc all the documents with a ticket number and asked to make payment on the First floor. I paid the fee and started waiting for the ticket number to be called.
By that time, it was 1:45. We were waiting at around 15:15, case worker announced our ticket number. We went to the counter a smiling caseworker was there, she asked for the Form and Bank Statements, P45 and P60s for last 4 years, 3 recent payslips, child's birth certificate and photographs. I asked her if I should I give her my declaration and application for issuance of separate backdated ILR. Then she said I've got all the necessary documents and need to verify. She asked us to wait and covered her window. Around after 45 minutes, she called us to say everything is fine and you have been granted ILR, so you can collect your passports after 1 hour.
We were happy beyond imagination. After one hour we collected the passports and asked to check all the details are correct. All details were correct.
During whole episode, my biggest worry was 3 Fixed panelty points on my license which was result of SP30 : "Exceeding Statutory Speed Limit on public Road" mentioned in section 7 of application form. However, seems it did not affect the application.
Car parking Cost was £9 for 6 hours.
Documents Given:
P60 for 4 Years
P45
3 Months' pay slips
3 Month's Bank Statements
Childs Birth Certificate
Overall, it was good experience.
Happy Ending!!!!!!!
