ILR success at Croydon on 24th March 2014

[mahfuza49+]

I would like to share with you all my experiences at Croydon. First of all, Thanks you very much to the Forum friends who helped me out giving answers of my crucial questions and also other members who posted their success story – these also helped a lot. It’s only three months since I came across this forum- but it has been really very useful.

I have an appointment with my two dependants at 9.15am and my adult dependant sun had an appointment at 9.50am. We went to lunar house, Croydon at 8.30am; they let us in at 8.45am. Then went through the security, registration, personal data entry by a personnel of HO and finally Biometrics and handed over all the documents, all done by 10.30am. At 10.45am our ticket number was on the under consideration. At 12.15pm my ticket number was called for collection. My adult son was tagged with us – so why it took little longer to get done the Biometrics.
I have organized the folders as follows with the list, though they used their folder – but I think it was very easy to go through for the case worker as each section was separated with the respective list over it.

My date of entry clearance being issued on : 25th March 2009
