Hello
As I told you before I am already eligible for my ILR.But employer is not ready for the letter.I am on tier 2 ICT.
I was wondering if this letter will be sufficient which company is ready to give me.
This is to certify that Mr. XXXX, Employee Code No. XXXXX, is
employed with XXXXXX (UK) Limited. He has been working with
XXXXXX Limited (India) in the UK on a Work Permit since 16 Jan
2006. His current assignment is till July 2012 and his remuneration is partly paid in the UK in GBP and partly in India in INR.
If you need any further information then please do not hesitate to contact myself.
Yours sincerely,
1)company has mentioned in above letter about my need till july 2012 and my current visa is valid till june 2013.Do you think is there any prob with this?
2)They are not ready to mention about SOC code but I can get the employment history from HMRC and Payslips and bank statement as a proof to show.
Please advise.
Thanks

I think you should persuade them strongly to give you the letter as is required by the rules
here. Don't take any chances with this.

Can anyone tell me if solicitor can get us this letter as its my right to ask them if I get paid above SOC code .They Have given me letter stating I am needed for further 2 years.
I know sushmehta has mentioned that employer is not liable to give any letter but If he is ready to give letter that I am needed for future just not ready to put soc code is unfair on me?
any suggestions what shd I do?

Yes, if you first applied for ICT leave before 6-Apr-10.
Check beforehand if the potential employer will issue you the
mandatory letter as and when you need it.

Since you are in UK, your potential employer will need to assign a unrestricted CoS to enable you to make a
leave to remain application as a Tier 2 (General) migrant.
For further queries regarding Tier 2, please post in the
relevant forum.

Your post doesn't make sense!
You say you had Tier 2 (General) in 2010 and Tier 2 (ICT) in 2011. How is that possible?
Questions:
1. When (date) did you first arrive in the UK?
2. Under which category?
3. Were you transferred to UK from an overseas location to UK office? Or did you start working for a new sponsor / employer here?
4. If answer to 2. above is WP / Tier 2, have you worked with the same employer since then?

Probably a typographical error on the letter.
Given the stated immigration history, it appears that you entered UK as a intra-company transferee in 2006 and have extended your stay since then as a Tier 2 (ICT) migrant. If you are unsure, check with your HR.
Do you know if you are current leave is as a Tier 2 (ICT) long-term staff or some other sub-category of Tier 2 (ICT). If you don't, find it out (check with HR).

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you where to look as I have never made a Tier 2 application or seen one. You ought to know since you were the one who made the application.
Anyhow, shouldn't matter since you have been a ICT migrant since the beginning. Switch to Tier 2 (General) and apply for settlement as and when you can.

For anyone to answer your most recent query appropriately, you need to share your wife's current immigration status.

Thank u.

1. She cannot apply from within the UK to change her status from "dependant" to "Tier 2 migrant". She will need to apply for entry clearance from outside the UK.
2. She will only become eligible for settlement after 5 years of entering UK as a Tier 2 migrant- just like it has taken you 5 years.
