Congrats to you...

Will you tell about your absence during the five years period..? Any trip greater than 90 days?

[Kevin24]

Congratulations. Thank You for sharing your Experience.

[SonyTinku4ILR]

None of the trips exceeded 90 days
Total no of absences were well within the limit of 180 days.

[Kevin24]

What made the CW remark " That you are well Organized" Is it the Documents??

[SonyTinku4ILR]

Yes precisely...

CW thanked me that I handed over the photocopies too along with the originals asked otherwise he would have made rounds between the floors to reach photo copier.

Also I marked the Salaries and Dividends in my bank statements for clarity.

[Kevin24]

Thank You. You have made CW's work easier.

congratulations @SonyTinku4ILR

I'm going to Solihull next month and am in exactly the same situation, I'm applying for ILR (after spending 5 years on HSMP/Tier-1 (General)) and wife for PBS dependant as she has not completed 2 years. I've couple of questions about filling out the PBS dependant form for my wife. Would really appreciate if you can help:

1. In the section A1 - Fee Details, did you select that your wife is applying separately or at the same time as dependant?

2. In the section M - About your Maintenance, they ask the same question again and also ask in which category of the PBS is the main applicant applying. Should I select Tier-1 (General), as I don't see any option for ILR?

Thanks,
