ILR Director Limited Company Sheffield PEO 21st Nov 2012

[rushabhjvora]

ILR Granted for me and my wife on 21st November at Sheffield PEO.
I have been following this forum for more than a year now and for the amount of knowledge that I have gained – I would like to give a big thanks to all members and moderators.

Our appointment was at 9:00, we reached at 8:30 and in a minute gate was open. Our number was 8th so it is advisable to reach early but it does not make a big difference, may be extra 1 hr. First step was to go to the reception and the lady will give you a token number, thereafter your number will be called (9:15) and another case worker will make sure you are using the right form, have completed the application form, etc and send you towards payment. In our case our pictures were old (6 months) and I did not remember and the lady said you have used the same pictures in your last application. We had 10 pound coins and took the pictures in the booth present at Sheffield PEO. Thereafter we were send to payment at about 10:30 and I used Santander debit card. Just for your info - Natwest cards needs pre-authorisation for over 1000GBP. Payment went through and we waited till 11:45 when a case worker came and said that now I’ll be looking at your case and if you want, you can go out and come back in 1hr 30 min.

Once we came back at 12:30, we told the reception of our arrival – reception went to the case worker and case worker came back with our file in 5 minutes, she had done it in less than 45 min. I was told that thanks for keeping your documents so organised, it has made my life easy. Everything is fine and you’ll receive your biometric in 7 to 10 days.

My application timeline:
Tier 1 – 15th August 2007
2nd extension – 15th August 2009
3rd extension – 15th August 2012 (reason for 3rd extension is in the following link, I just thought not to take any chances, might be OK with ILR in August 2012 itself but decided otherwise)

We went out to a nearby coffee shop as we did not find any subway/McDonalds nearby. I would suggest to carry some food which can be allowed. Once we came back at 12:30, we told the reception of our arrival – reception went to the case worker and case worker came back with our file in 5 minutes, she had done it in less than 45 min.

4 Accountant & Agent Letters

Regarding point 4, what is Agent letters? is it required?
what does it contains?

[rushabhjvora]

Hi,
The agent letter lists all the payment made to your company
So in table format, it shows: 1) Date, 2) Invoice number (this matches accountant invoice letter) 3) Total (excluding VAT) 4) Vat & 5) Total Invoice amount.

Once you have this letter, case worker may save his time calling agent if he/she has any doubts and also the invoice amount will match the business bank statements. I hope this helps.
