Tier 1 ILR and Employer Letter

Hi ,
I am sure this question would have been raised many times in the forum but I am looking for any recent experiences and as well as experts advise.

While applying for Tier 1 ILR do we need to produce Employer Letter. It is not asked in the list of documents required. The reason for asking this is one of my friend is working on deputation for an off-shored based company. He has shifted to Tier 1 2-3 years back and now he is eligible for ILR. As per his off-shore based company rules he is not able to get a letter from them. So we are trying to assess the risk in going for interview with out the employer letter.

he has all his pay-slips, bank statements etc all required to submit the application except the employer letter.

Appreciate your views.
Cheers,

It's not necessary; he doesn't even need to be employed at the time. He merely needs to score the points, have passed the KOL and have no unspent convictions. Additionally he should check to make sure his off-shore secondment has not broken his continuous residence period.

Hi All,
Thought to add an update to my own post.
My friend has got ILR today.
He did not take the employer letter with him. Also the officer did not ask for it.

Thanks.
