Dear Friends,
can you pls help me with a sample format of Employer Letter for ILR application.

yes I have all the payslips, bank statements and p60s covering for those 4 yrs.. is that sufficient??

exactly, thats what even i am thinking... because in the application they are asking the employer letter if you are applying as WP holder.... but in my case its a mix of 4 hrs WP + 1 yr Tier1(General)... so iam just wondering will they ask a letter from employer for that WP period....

thanks for the advice.
i have converted to Tier1(general) from WP and I have not informed my employer about that. hence i am not sure whether they will give the letter if i ask them now..

Dear All, Just need some clarification on number of days absence for dependent when applying for ILR along with the main applicant(tier 1 general). will the HO see or check the number of days a dependent is out of the country.

it dependends on the type of visa you are in, if WP then no timeframe for dependent but for Tier 1 visa holder the dependent has to spend 2 yrs with you. check this http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... ettlement/

I got a confirmation e-mail from Chennai BHC that section 7.15 related to Sponsoship details need not be filled by Tier1(general) applicants or their dependets as they are related to Tier 2 applications.
