I got my ILR today. Thanks everyone for the helpful information shared on this forum.
Reach around 45 minutes before the appointment time. Out in approximately 4 hours (entry-to-exit).
My visas are WP, followed by Tier1 (employed by WP sponsorer for 3+years, and than employed by a limited company.)
Below are the sequences:
1. Entered in office, usual security checks
2. At ground floor application was verified and told to go to First floor, with a token number provided.
3. At first floor made the payment (I had already informed my credit card company about the payment amount)
4. Token called, Person said she is not the case worker but she is putting my application details into their system. She told that next step will be, our biometric will be taken and than documents for the case worker.
5. Token called for biometric. Biometric done.
6. Waited nearly an hour+
7. Token called, asked to provide all the documents, she mentioned she is not looking to the case but will forward the documents to the case worker. I saw she collected all the documents in an envelop.
8. Waited nearly two hours.
9. Token called, she open a an envelop having my documents and mentioned that my application is approved. ( I found accountant letter was taken. For me this document was prepared for ILR, so I didn’t bother to ask where-abouts.)
10. I read the document given to me, mentioning about BRP will be provided by recorded delivery within 7 days. No new update in passports. The document advise that BRP to be carried with passport or travel document whenever go in/out of the UK.
The documents I provided at sequence 7 are :
1. Set (O)
2. Photos
3. Passports
4. Payslips and Dividend vouchers
5. Accountant letter
6. Last 4 years P60 and employment history from HMRC
7. 12 months personal bank statements
8. 12 months company bank statements
9. last 3 months personal saving statements (I’m not sure maintenance fund is really needed to show, but I had submitted it)
10. Bunch of Cohab documents: Spouse's driving lic, bank statement, TV license etc.
11. Except SET (O) form and Cohab documents (didn’t photocopy as was not sure which will be of better help), I provided photo copies of everything mentioned in point 3 to 9. I have seen except blank passport pages and accountant letter rest all photo copies are taken.
In all, it was very pleasant experience. I must say, very polite and professional staff at all the levels I interacted with.
Once again thanks for the helpful information I received and all the best.
