For Tier 1 holders, it is not mandatory to have employer letter, however as mentioned, it is advantageous to obtain one, as an additional evidance of your work with the company.

If you have to achieve points to qualify for ILR under T1G then you should show the required income in the last year of your ILR. As far as i know, one has to show salary in a continuous 12 month period starting at any time in last 15 months. So OP should be ok, however please wait for someone to c...

Actually, the max single absence is six months in the long residence category.

ISince I completed 4 yrs and five months on work permit visa from June 2005 – Nov 2009,I need more advice as to is there any chance I can still go for ILR as I entered before 2006. The new 5 yrs work permit rule was introduced from Aug.2008, (am I right). I am eagerly awaiting for your valuable a...

Sorry to hijack your thread, just thought I might as well ask my Question here rather than creating a new thread. I have seen a lot of refrence to including 5 years P60 in ILR application, Is there anywhere in the Guidiance not where it says to include 5 years worth of P60? Not trying to be Over Co...

does she currently have valid passport and visa? if yes, then she can travel (i.e. situation is same as you)

Because when people have continuous leave that falls short of five years due to late arrival, they are permitted to include the period from the time the visa was issued to the end of the five year period into the sum. Where does it state that? i know there is an option for 90 day descretion by case...

All experienced expert, I am about to apply for my ILR NEAR end of Oct, just wondering when the employment letter should be issued? There is no guideline on how advance the letter can be issued, I’d like to get it ready so I don’t have to worry about it. there is still 7 weeks to go, if I ask m...

I think it's safe to say that you can expect heightened scrutiny from the caseworker but if, as already suggested, your application is otherwise a genuine one, you have nothing to worry about. Applications from that agency are not being rejected just because they are from that source. They are stil...

I am planning to apply for ILR at Croydon PEO.

How do you define at the discretion of the CW ? Are you suggesting that if your case is assigned to Bert (who inclines to leniency) rather than Ernie (who inclines to strict adherence to the rules), one might not be granted? The guidance says that it is permitted for this concession to be applied a...

I have booked a PEO appointment at Liverpool on September 19th since my mine is straightforward case. However, after reading this thread I feel that it's better to apply via POST rather than spending for a premium service and not getting any of it! Are there a lot of old WP holders suffering a dela...

I am also in same situation as like you all, I have visited Sheffield PEO on 21st July and they said they will need further approvals to decide my application...5 weeks and I still waiting :( Do we need to write letter to MP or just go and meet them? please advice. thanks in advance. sorry to hear ...

You complete 5 years on 3rd Dec 2011. 28 days before that is 5 nov 2011. Your visa expires 9 nov 2011. So you can apply on 7th/8th or 9th nove (5th and 6th are weekends). You have enough leave to apply so u can not ask for 90 days descretion.
