I had book an appointment for 3 of us (myself+wife+kid) at 9 am by calling home office a week ago, I find this one is very easy then registering and booking online.
Reached Croydon home office at 8 am and tried to get enter into the building but been stopped by security guard and advised to come at 8.30 so, was waiting outside for about 25 minutes.
Got entry right at 8.30 then airport style security check ( make sure you don't wear too much, I haven't wore my belt, no wallet only a credit and debit card with me in my pocket so, not much to took off) straight after security went to see the mid age english lady who checked my application form and booking ref. then she gave me ticket number and told to go first floor to make a payment. Got on first floor tried to make a payment by my credit card but it got decline even though i've informed my credit card provider to make sure it got through ( will handle them later

employer's letter,
3 month's payslips,
3 month;s bank statement and
5 year's p60
and i've also offered her the photocopy of all document in same order so, she has accepted it all without hesitation and went for some further checks...... after 10 minutes she came back and said everything is fine and collect you passport after an hour.
right after an hour my passport were ready to collect, left PEO at 11.20 am as I've to rush again for my Swiss visa which I've planned to apply on the same day and had an appointment at 13.00 to central London at Soho square.
One noticeable thing is, my caseworker didn’t check or glance anything beyond section 1 & 3 in my form and even though i knew that i've to tick TIER 1 (GENERAL) UNDER HSMP JR in section 3 i ticked HSMP UNDER HSMP JR no said nothing to me about it.
The day was overall good but tiring as applied for ILR and SWISS visa in same day.
Best of luck to all other members of this site and I'll see you all in Citizenship and Benefit column now on.
Cheerssssss.............
