Workpermit to ILR in Dec - New JOB in Jan

Post by robertrozarioa » Fri Nov 02, 2012 10:14 pm

Hello,

I am a work permit holder and am completing 5 years on 8th Jan 2013 and have booked my appointment in December for ILR application in person at Croydon. I am with the employer who sponsored my WP for all these last 5 years.My current pay is also above the homeoffice SOC code.

But I have applied for a new job and got an offer letter and a contract saying that I can start the job from 2nd Jan 2013 if my ILR is successful and have no restriction in my VISA. With that in mind I have also submitted my resignation in my current company. :(

Now my question is about content of the "letter from the employer" that is required for my application.

I am going to request my current employer to give me a letter stating that I am employed with them for these 5 years with salary details and I am employed until Dec31st 2012. Not sure if they will be happy to add the last part in the letter as I have given my resignation notice and I will be working only until 31 Dec 2012 with the current employer.

I am planning to request my new employer to give me a letter with salary details stating that they are happy to employ me from 2nd Jan if my ILR is successful.

Do you think if I may have any problem in this case.

If so what sort of additional documentation will I need.

I have maintained bank statement for last 1 year and got P60 for last 5 years and statements and payslips for 12 months.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks for a quick reply.

So a letter from my current employer be enough stating that "I am employed on such and such position with xxx salary and is still required for the position of XXX Engineer."

Based on what you spelled out above this is a tricky situation. In my opinion you should not mention anything about the new job. One of the key ilr requirements states

he is still required for the employment in question, as certified by his employer;

The employer has to state clearly and categorically that you are needed for the forseeable future not until dec x or y date) see examples of employer letter on the forum. All the best with your application.
