Hi gshax,
Thanks for your post. I have similar case but on Tier2 General through out the tenure with 9 months absence at a stretch due to offshore working. I have passed my life in the UK test and B1 English language as well and ready with all the document to make an application. However my employer gave me generic letter with UK assignment details and paid Annual Leave details. They are denying to mention anything about the India tenure when I was working at their offshore location for same project. I am working for same client/project/team/profile for last more than five years ( I changed employment once during this period) however I do not have any documentary confirmation from employer or client about this.
I was in touch with one solicitor who initially said that I do not have any issue for getting ILR. However after seeing my P60 forms in which one year was having less payment due to salary paid in India for 9 months, they showed less interest and eventually stopped responding to me.
With your experience, could you please advise whether my case is having any chance of getting it approved?
Following is the letter I got from my current employer. Similar letter I got from my previous employer however there was no long absence during that period.
Thanks,
