Thanks dk2011.

As I can't get a letter, will have to go ahead without it.

I have been going through the SET(0) application to make it ready, in Section 6.1, should it be the 1st entry date I came in 2007 or the 1st entry in 5 years period my application based on?

Thanks again.
Are you saying absence evidence letter is not necessary if the gap is less than 180days after splitting/without splitting into those 12months continuous periods?

do you think I should go by Solicitor?

do I need to provide employer letter for that gap in 2010? even after splitting?
also do I need to prove English language condition again? I got points for this 1st time Tier1 application and at extention.

I came to UK first time in 17th May 2007, on Work Permit and went back to India on 31st August 2008. After few months gap I came to UK on 21st...
