I only had last year P60 so i just gave them that and in the letter from employer i have asked my employer to state my start date of employment as i only worked for one employer from last 5 years


it is advisable to have all P60 i.e from last 5 years if you don't have you can get a HMRC Statement

Thanks genious

My job title is not in cop list.So my employer has chosen the one closest to my job responsibilities and I was getting more salary than stated in code of practice so no questions asked regarding that.but I think they are looking for salary even for workpermit holders.

Congratulations to you!!!

what is the reason including your daughter in ILR?
is your daughter not born in UK? or don't you want to get her British citizenship?

I don't think so you need to maintain a balance but it's always better to have some money in the account as that gives some proof to the caseworker that you can support yourself and dependents

Employer letter

Hi congrats that you got the PR.

I have a quick question. What format you had submitted the employer letter along with the application because I have problems of issuing an employer letter with the wording ' require for the foreseeable future' my employer refuse to provide the letter with the wording.

Can you please advice whether that wording is mandatory because of this issue I had cancelled my appointment.

Below is my draft letter to the employer.
This is to confirm that Mr. XXX (Your name) is currently employed by XXX (Your Company) in the UK as a full time and permanent employee. He has been employed since Date as a (your post). He is required by the company for a foreseeable future.


Thanks for your help in advance.
