Does this absence include the 116 days sickness? All absences are counted per 12 month cycle, regardless of reason.01/06/2015-31/05/2014: 115*

Instead of the bank statements, I have an employment history letter from HMRC, together with all my P60s through the years; would that be enough?argus7 wrote:not mandatory to have the letter, But get it if possible or show bank statement for those paid annual leaves that salary credited while on holiday.
Looks fine to me.
1) If your absences that were due to medical reasons are included in the yearly totals given above, then you have not broken your continuous residence.tier1app wrote:I am on T1(G) since 01/09/2008, moved permanently to the UK since 25/08/10, and had 2 extensions.
Given you are now allowed 180 per year, and 90 days between entry clearance & arrival, I intend to apply for ILR in June this year.
01/06/2015-31/05/2014: 115*
01/06/2014-31/05/2013: 56*
01/06/2013-31/05/2012: 48
01/06/2012-31/05/2011: 28
01/06/2011-31/05/2010: 27 (+85) = 112
(*There was an absence of 116 days from May to September 2014 for which I have a medical certificate for.)
With the information above, can I please have some valuable comments on:
1. I read this piece of immigration rule correctly and have not broken the continuous period requirement.
2. I entitled 25 days of annual leaves and I never travelled for work. I am not getting this idea of "a letter from the employer setting out the reasons for the absences (namely, annual leave in my case.)" Do I have to have it?
This is really nonsense!!! can I not provide IMHO with my offer letters with the annual leaves on them? how am I going to ask my ex-employer to provide it since I never had to travel for work. moreover, what about if you are contracting? where you got paid on a daily basis? (This whole thing is beyond the acceptable stressful level! )cs95tdg wrote: 2) Edit - Reading the SET(O) form guidance, it appears that an employer letter is now required to confirm absences (irrespective of whether they were for business or just annual leave), even for T1G migrants (this wasn't the case 2 years ago when I applied, so it appears the guidance has changed). If you had any absences while you were not in employment I'd write a personal letter listing the absences and what they were for. E.g medical grounds etc...
Please see 245CD-SD https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _final.pdf
For periods where you were contracting or self-employed you should write a personal letter as outlined under point b) above.245CD-SD Specified documents
The specified documents referred to in paragraph 245CD(j) are:
(a) For periods where the applicant was in employment in the UK, a letter from the employer detailing the purpose and period of absences in connection with the employment, including periods of annual leave.
(b) For periods where the applicant was self-employed or in business in the UK, or looking for work or setting up in business in the UK, a personal letter from the applicant detailing the purpose and period of absences in relation to those activities.
(c) A personal letter from the applicant which includes full details of the reason for the absences and all original supporting documents in relation to those reasons - e.g. medical certificates, birth/death certificates, information about the reasons which led to the absence from the UK.

Additionally the case worker guidance does state that the requirement for evidence in form of employer letters may be disregarded so long as the applicants' absences fall within the number of days annual leave the applicant is entitled to.
What I was referring to is what's mentioned on the end of page 22-23 of the following guidance.tier1app wrote:Thanks cs95tdg, I have a spreadsheet listing all the trips that matches my immigration history on my passports. Regarding your last sentence, are you reference the annual leaves that I am entitled to from my employer or UKBA (namely, the 180 day limits?) Because I travelled a lot on the weekends as well so it is ought to go over the twenty something days of annual leave from work.
