In person(premium) application made at Belfast PEO,18-Nov-2011.
Appointment taken 6 weeks before over phone.

Actual Process at PEO in sequence:
Security check, belongings are taken by security and stored at lockers by giving you a locker coupon number, wait, called at a counter/window to check main applicants passport details and application form, wait, called at other window where had to submit all the documents provided as evidence for all applications,wait,Case officer verifies each document, and decides the authenticity of each,called at another window and informed documents are in order or not(if not given a chance to provide any other document instead) and then asked to pay fee at different counter,pay the fees,wait,Called in a different desk room for giving Biometric details, finger prints,facial photograph,wait, this is when the Visa officers discuss and make a decision,then they called and told about the decision which for me was granted extension leave to remain under Tier1. Given such letters and original documents back, and told that Biometric residence permits would reach the address mentioned in application in 7 days or so,Leave the PEO,Relax!
Tips:Pls. do read the Guidance notes in detail, Application form in detail, and also the relevant sections of the UK Emigration rules in detail and there should be no doubt about filling any field in the form or other things in general., as they answer all doubts in those documents.
