All,

Thanks for all the valuable information this forum provides.

Today I have been granted ILR visa from Croydon PEO,

Reported at the PEO office with my dependents at 7.30 am. After the airport style security check on the ground floor
directed to first counter to get the ticket number. Lady at the counter asked specifically about my WP docs.
I said i am carrying it with me. fyi i had work permit letter, p60 , deputation letter and relieving letter from the company.

After that we asked to pay the fees in the first floor. By 8 am payment went thorugh sucessfully. I had informed my bank about
this transaction one day earlier. After the payment we were asked to wait for my number to be called by front desk representative.
8.15am my ticket was called and the lady at the counter took some 15-20 mins to enter details into the system and then asked to wait for
Biometric in the first floor. Please note my biometrics was taken at first floor becos i was in first slot of today's appointment. After 9 am appointments
people were directed to second floor for biometrics. Please double check with the front desk lady were to go for Biometrics.

At 8.40am i was called for biometrics and it took 15 mins to complete for 4 of us. After that i was asked to wait in the same floor (1st) for case worker.

At 9.10 am case worker called my ticket number. Very nice lady no issues at all.

Following Documents were asked

1. Application form with Passports and photos
2. ILR test certificates
3. WP related letters - work permit letter, p60 , deputation letter and relieving letter from the company.
4. Accountant letter, 12 months Payslips, dividends voucher & 12 months bank statements

I offered the photocopies of all the above.

Finally at 9.50 am i was called for the good news. She handed over the approval letter and said my cards will be delivered in 5-7 working days.

Befor coming out of the home office , i verified all the documents and left the building at 10.10am

It was really quick and smooth experience if you have the appointment in the first hour.

Congrats and thanks for sharing your success story! So 8am is the first appointment in the day. I'll keep that in mind when searching for an appointment, as your application is the fastest PEO one I've seen at Croydon.

Lots and lots of congratulations on your ILR success Badri5777.

As my case is similar to your would you please answer my below queries:

1- Did the CO asked for Company bank statements, VAT documents, HMRC company tax documents or did you provide them voluntarily ?

2- How many months of company bank statements did you provide / they asked for ?

3- Did they ask for any other company related documents ?

Many thanks,
Sapeyuk

[badri5777]

All the documents provided as requested by the case worker.

12 months business bank statements

No they didnt ask any other documents. But i was carrying with me..annual returns, invoices and contract documents. My wife salary slips as she was 20% share holder. Though nothing was asked.

You can provide alternate documents. As long as you provide proper evidence it is fine.
