Hi rajani7,
Can you also confirm the dates when you received acknowledgement letter and when the payment was taken from your account.
And you said you submitted biometrics on 5-Jan-14, which was a Sunday. Are you sure this date is correct?
Thanks.

Hi all,
Need an urgent help please.
We have recently applied for ILR tier-1 general set-O.
Today I received a letter asking to provide proof of section 6.3 which is to provide the evidence to support the reasons for all absences from the UK.
The options for the evidence are:
1. Letter(s) from employer(s) detailing reasons for work-related absences including periods of paid annual leave from the UK?
2. Letter from applicant detailing reasons for absence due to compelling or compassionate reasons
3. Original official documents: (medical/birth/death certificate(s))
4. Letter from travel companies to evidence disruption to travel
Will that be enough If I provide a letter detailing reasons for absence and original contract from my employer which says that I am entitled to 25 days paid holidays?
Has any one experience the same and what was the outcome?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

NORTS ... need your help please its really urgent, I have the same query, what did you do with yours? did you get the letters all from your employers stating the leaves? your help is much appreciated pleaseee wrote:Urgent Help Required,
I would be Grateful for advice please, I received an email from My Case worker asking for letter from my employers to confirm that my absences from UK (total of 91 days, scattered over 5 years) are covered by Paid annual leave, Here is the the email:
"I am the case worker dealing with your application for settlement in UK. Unfortunately you have omitted to include a letter from your employer confirming that your absences from the UK during the 5 yr qualifying period were covered by paid annual leave. The Immigration Rules are prescriptive in this regard and I have to have it before I can approve your application. I am happy to accept it by email from your employer so please feel free to forward this email to them"
I am very confused as my understanding you only need evidence if your collective leave is >180 days, My application is SET (o) after 5 years of Tier 1 General Migrant, again does it matter in my case as "Tier 1" and not work Permit holder to prove that my leaves are under paid annual leaves??
Help and advice is appreciated Guys!

What documents can I provide for my previous employer? Would contract stating I am entitled to take paid holidays and salary slip during the month I took holiday are enough?
