Hi All,

If a person has two employers during the 5 year qualifying period;
- Previous Employer 7th Feb 2014 to 24th July 2015: Tier 2 general with some absences (36 days absence in 2014 and 10 days in 2015, residency not broken)

- Current Employer 14th August 2015 to 7th Feb 2020: Tier 2 General with same SOC code (residency not broken)

There is a requirement to provide employment and absence confirmation letter from previous employer but his/her previous employer company no longer exist now and unfortunately he/she was not aware of getting this absence confirmation letter while leaving previous company.

So, what to do in this situation? How can one fulfil this requirement if the previous company no longer exist? Is there any alternate option(s) to fulfil this requirement?

Current employer is happy to provide the employment and absence confirmation letter so there is no problems there its just issue with previous employer.

Waiting for experts advice and thanks in advance!

Write a letter yourself with your absence and explain briefly about company.

Thanks for response CR001.
It this all I need to do? After posting this I came across a similar post here. In this post FaeLLe mentioned below options;

Some options,
- Get subject access request from Home Office confirming your travel history details they maintain to confirm your stay out of UK (this way you can prove to them the days you were out)
- Present original boarding passes, if you are missing any get a original letter from the airline or duplicate boarding cards

Just submitting a photocopy of immigration stamps will not help and application could be treated incomplete.


Why did you leave your employer before getting the letter, you should never have resigned without getting the letter as now your ILR changes are a gamble.

Get a proper lawyer and dont go after saving money.... find the best you can!

Please can you let me know if this above stated is applicable for my situation or as you mentioned just a letter with my absence and explain briefly about company is enough?

Thanks in advance!
