I've asked them to send anyway, they did the same commenting the mistakes (a...

thanks guys

Just got back from Lunar house with a new ILR sticker in my passport! thanks for the wealth of info in this board (and other members - Tnavon/TVT - i owe you).

you can quit your employer at any time you wish, feel free to do so once you have ILR - unless you have bond tied-up. if you are in permanent employment, i don't think there will be any issues for your employer giving such a letter. (i just got one from my employer stating.. my employment will conti...
