First of all I would like to thank all members of the Forum...it truly is the best forum of all.
I applied for my ILR along with 2 dependents (my husband & son) in 5 years WP category yesterday. Last 2 months have been so stressful but to our surprise, by the grace of God it all went so smooth.
We were dealt with by a very polite caseworker and she only requested 2 things - employer's letter and the Life in the UK test certificates of course apart from the payment receipt and passports. After entering their details in her system and doing the necessary checks she asked for other documents (not specifically requesting any particular document). I carried loads of payslips, bank statements and other supporting docs too but had a few precise ones in the main folder. I handed over 3 months payslips, 3 months bank statements, 1 P45 as I have worked for 2 employers and the latest P60.
She was happy with whatever I gave her and again after doing some stuff on the computer she left her desk saying that everything looks OK with the application and she needs to leave the counter to do some photocopying and some checks.
She came back after sometime and handed the originals back to me (just retained the employer's letter). She then said that everything was ok and that they are granting ILR for me and my family starting from today and that our PPs will be ready in about an hours time.
It took much more than an hour for us to get the PPs back but at the end of the day we got what we were after.

Finally, all my best wishes for people waiting to apply for their Indefinite Stay. Any questions, please feel free to ask.
Regards.
P.S. The initial screening guy downstairs did specifically request the Life in the UK Test results and a proof of when I left my first job (to check if there was any gap in my employment), for which I had the P45 so no problem there either.
