Dear members,

I'm applying for ILR from Tier-2 general visa this month. Can you please confirm if the below employer reference letter meets the criteria?

Dear Sir / Madam,

We confirm that above-named employee, XYZ has been in continuous employment with company A in the UK since xx/xx/2011 and that his employment is ongoing.

We can confirm that XYZ was hired by us on xx/xx/2011 as a permanent employee, is currently employed as AAA within BBB Technology and earns an annual salary of £XXXX.

Thanks manci. But this is the letter my employer can provide me and that is what they are legally allowed to do.

So can you or someone advice if this letter is OK? They have mentioned it is permanent, ongoing and continuous. I have been told that I'm like any other permanent employee.

Seems fine to me. It has job code, so should be fine

sunny_sunny: Thank you. I do hope the letter is fine, unless someone says in their experience that it will be an issue since it doesn't have the exact wording as in the requirement.
