Dear Friends,
can you pls help me with a sample format of Employer Letter for ILR application.

Dear All, Just need some clarification on number of days absence for dependent when applying for ILR along with the main applicant(tier 1 general). will the HO see or check the number of days a dependent is out of the country.

I got a confirmation e-mail from Chennai BHC that section 7.15 related to Sponsoship details need not be filled by Tier1(general) applicants or their dependets as they are related to Tier 2 applications.
