Case : WP(1.8 years)+Tier1(General)
From last 6 months working under own Ltd. company structure.

Organised three set of documents. One with must to have docs another photocopy set and third with all the additional document I thought could be required.

ILR for main + 2 dependent

Documents submitted from Set 1:
- Set(o) form
- Passport and BRP

Earning Evidence
- 8 payslips form permanent employment.
- 8 months personal B/S
Cohab docs:
- Council bill(joint name)

- GP letter
- NHS card
- Electrol cards
- Marriage certificate
- Child birth certificate
Current Financial evidence:
- Letter from accountant conforming salary and dividend
- Invoice summary sheet from client
- Business B/s
- Personal B/s

No photocopies, no leave of absence letter but I do have all the papers ready with me but I do not want to complicate things with extra documents till the time they are specifically asked.

Appointment 1:30 pm. all timing include queue time too.
reach 12:40 pm
- Receptionist check few fields in forms, stamps them and provided token number. Time taken 15 minutes
- Went to 3rd floor. Token number called for payment, paid using CC. Time taken 10 min.

- Next call to to biometrics counter - 20 mins
Lady at biometric counter took all my documents I asked her, will I be getting chance to interact with case worker as I have additional documents. She said if require case worker will call you.
- Went to waiting area where there is TV screen shows each case status with token number was bit nervous as not provided evidence of absence in main set and photocopies set was also with me. I was expecting there will be interaction and I will be providing documents one by one.
- about 10 mins later token no. start appearing as case registered and awaiting.
- About 3:45pm case under consideration
- Got a mobile call from pvt. number at 4:10. firstly I disconnected as anxious about my ILR process. Again got the call, and this was from case worker she asked about my WP certificate and do I have relieving letter with me. I told her I am carrying with and then she asked me to come to one of the counter where I have given her both denouncements also told that I have absence letter too if she require but she said if you do not have long absence then she is not bothered.
- about 5:10 status ready for collection.
- Went to the counter and got the good news

I hope my experience helps others with similar situation.

ok so what did you put for "5.3 If so, what is your pay each month after income tax and other deductions?"

And Also what did you fo for your questions

Query
1) But as I understand everyone have to fill section 5 from 5.1 to 5.5 and then in section 11a it says "Evidence of your finances. If you have to complete section 5, bank statements, building society savings
book(s), pay slips or other formal documents as evidence of your ability to maintain and accommodate yourself
and any dependants without recourse to public funds."

By the way Congratulations for your visa

For income per month: I sum up all my net income from last 12 month including dividend and divided it by 12.
also for section 11a, I provided current financial evidence mentioned in my post. Not sure if they were actually used by CW

Congratulations for your ILR

[ilr-tracker]

Congrats mate..
So you did not provide the P-60 & Salary slips for the period you were on WP.. Only the WP approval letter?

[ginger.garlic]

@ilr-tracker
I did had those documents in my additional document set so I will suggest you to carry with you. In my case CW didn't ask for P60 but only WP and relieving letter as mentioned above.

"Important info for everyone"

My wife did not completed 2 years in uk she was missing 25 Days but still got the visa

My colleague applied couple of days later and his wife was 3-4 months short of 2 years but still manage to get this visa no question asked.#

Apparently dependant applying together doesn't count for 2 year qualifying period.

so those who are worried about partner as they are short of qualifying period please feel free to apply together.

I travelled after2 moths 21 days (no issue as within 3 months)

Also they way I have received my originals it seems case worker didn't even removed the clips.

Hope this info helps

Let me know if I can help you.
