Husband ILR SET M was granted at Birmingham last Month. Our appointment was for 13.30 however they asked that we got there for 13.00. Well first of all we ended up the wrong place the reporting centre but we had plenty of time to get over the building we needed to go to.
Security was quite tight which we expected however we had to wait two hours to be called up. The Officer asked for the form then the life in the uk test result. Only eight documents were used and I had enclosed 57!! She did a few checks behind the scene and then said that the ILR had been granted and asked us to wait for the passport to be amended.
To say Im relieved is an understatement. Those of you waiting do give up. Your time will come
This is how I organised my file. I basically put everything in order of the form so it was easier to read and put the papers in plastic sleeves
Section 1 - Application form with the bankers draft attached, bankers draft is so much easier as you are not watching to see when the money leaves your account bankers draft is 100 guaranteed payment - remember to take a copy of the cheque
Section 2 - Pass Notification Letter Life in The UK Decree Absolute and Marriage Certificate
Section 3 - Rent/Mortgage Agreement Deeds payment of rent/mortgage
Section 4 - Payslips and P60's
Section 5 - Anything relating to tax national insurance payments (for my husband as he is Self Employed)
Section 6 - Bank Statements in date order remember they only need to the last three (Husband)
Section 7 - Bank statements x 3 (Me)
Section 8 - Joint bills for me and my husband spread evenly between October 2008-October 2010 and put in date order
Section 9 - My hospital letters
Section 10 - Letters addressed to my husband over the two year period in date order
Section 11 - Letters addressed to me over the two year period in date order
