ILR success(orally informed) @Cardiff PEO--WP+T2

[horsehorse]

Hello everyone, thank you very much. I've been a silent reader for quite a long time.

We applied ILR at Cardiff PEO yesterday. My case is quite straightforward, WP+T2, same employer, main+ 2 dependents. The appointment was at 11:30. I didn't bring dependents, but brought copies of most documents, which turned out to be unnecessary at this PEO.

A staff member pre-checked the main documents quickly, and explained the policy. I was told BPR Cards would be destroyed by them, and the passports wouldl be stamped in another office, and will be sent to us within a couple of days if we are granted ILR. Then let me hand all other supporting documents, said the caseworker would decide which would be used. It took less than 15 minutes, and I was told I can leave the building, and come back at 13:30.

On the afternoon, I went back to Cardiff PEO at 13:30, waited for 1 hour or so. Then I was called to the window, the caseworker told me our applications were approved. Then he returned all my documents except passports and BPR Card, and gave me the payment receipt and two-page ILR notes. And let me fill a survey. That's all. When I went home, I found I didn't get the formal approval letters for each applicant on the same day. Not sure that is the normal procedure at Cardiff PEO? I guess the approval letters will be sent to us together with the passports.

Now waiting for the passports and formal approval letters.

You are right. I had the same problem, and had no chance to get the appointment online. So I tried to phone them, and they arranged family appointment.
