ILR Application from Tier 1 (General) - Letter of Absence

[MagicMovies]

Hello,

My first entry was on 30 March, 2011. I am now eligible for ILR. However, I have a slight concern.

The total number of holidays outside of UK is 237. However, in no consecutive 12 month period, have I ever been outside the UK for more than 180 days. So far so good.

For the absences from January, 2013 onwards I have a letter from my current employer that I was away on Vacation. I have the payslips and bank statements to confirm the same as well.

For the period from April 2011 to December 2012, I do not have a letter of absence from my old employer. However, I do have the payslips and bank statements to confirm that these were the paid vacations.

I have two questions.

1. So, do I mark Yes for the question 6.3 as I have the letter of absence from the current employer (January 2013 to October 2016) and include my own letter for (April 2011 to December 2012) or do I not mention anything in the answer for question 6.3 but carry these documents in case they ask me regarding it?

2. I also have another issue wherein my last working day at my previous employer was 7 December, 2012 and my start date with my new employer was on 16 January, 2013. It was not because I was without a job and had to leave the country. I had already booked my holiday before I got the new offer and therefore I went home.

I do have the following documents though

• 1. payslip which indicates salary for 7 days of December, 2012 and my holiday encashment for 12 days from my previous employer.
  2. offer letter from current employer
  3. date of joining confirmation letter from current employer
  4. payslip which indicates salary for 15 days of January 2013 by new employer

So, as before do I take these documents with me and explain to the CW or mention these in an addendum?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

To anyone in the same boat as I was.

I stated Yes for the question 6.3 but carried these documents and submitted the following as proof

• 1. P60 for the Year 2012
  • 2. Payslips (Not Attested)
  • 3. Bank Statements with clear indication of when the salary was paid

  No evidence submitted regarding this.
