I am ever so thankful to the creator and members of this forum for such an amazing contributions they make every day here.
Because of such wonderful and nice people here i am obliged to
give the details of my ILR approval today
Appointment at 9:50 am today
Booked 42 days in advance (BUT people here might not believe me that i
had tried seven nights from 2340 hrs 00:55 hrs and some times more
without a success.... yes i followed all tricks to constantly refresh / book a
dummy appointment beforehand {although this was before i was eligible
to apply for ILR) etc but nothing worked and this was the worse and most
frustrating part of my ILR Preparation.)
Arrived at lunar house at 9 am – allowed inside after bit of request
20 mins wait and security check done
By 9:30 Proceed to application check an token number given
9:50- payment – gone well without a hic cup- although my bank declined
to put a special flag for large transaction.
10:10 – Nice asian / west Indian lady took Biometric details. She did
mention its not busy at all this morning.
10:40 – called by the case worker- Caucasian lady- she used the window
while other case worker was working on some ones file- She said “ Give
me everything what you got in support of your application ”.........to be
truthful i did not expect this- but i have everything in separate folders.
See following link for documents list
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... highlight=
Total days away in 5 years= 83, maximum days at any time 29.
Then she said she is going to sit in the back office and work from there. I
must say i was not expecting this. I told her i will be sitting there –
pointing to a seat. She said fine.
TWO mins later i realised i have not given her the photocopies- started to
run like a headless chicken in the direction she walked. Luckily found her
talking to one of her colleague at a window. ( i believe she is a senior
case worker as she was giving advice to her colleague on a case- i
interrupted her quickly and said” excuse me i forgot to ask whether you
need photocopies- she said yes please. I observed one thing there was
no smile or much of communication from her side .........? bad day
Then the wait started. I guessed she will take 40 mins- as it was written
several times on this forum. After 30 mins or so i became attentive to
number calling and here you go my number called after 35 mins.
To my shock i saw her standing at a window without anything in her hand-
guessed something gone wrong, started to get palpitation, She said “
Here your documents and you will get a BRP in seven days” I don’t think
i heard it properly so said sorry what did you say- she said your
application is approved and will get BRP in post, your letter is on top of
the documents and she turned away- i said thanks and started to read the
letter.
Total time taken in and out within 2 hours.
So over all i wouldn’t say i have anything to complaint about Croydon
PEO.
Wish you good luck to those who are awaiting their application / approval.
Once again thanks to every one here.
