Appointment booked and final help on Emp Reference letter

[prss_vel83]

Dear All,

I am applying for ILR on Tier 2 ICT route. I have continuous Tier 2 ICT visa since 2009. I booked my ILR premium appointment in Croydon on 13-Jan-2017.

Qualifying period:

FROM - TO - No of days out
13-Jan-16 12-Jan-17 9
13-Jan-15 12-Jan-16 10
13-Jan-14 12-Jan-15 96
13-Jan-13 12-Jan-14 149
13-Jan-12 12-Jan-13 21

1) I have continuous break of 245 days. I split 245 days break into 2 different years as above which has come lesser than 180 days in any consecutive 12 months period. Am I elgible for ILR as per new rule?

2) I managed to get the below employer reference letter, is it sufficient or any change required?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HI,

Did you use any lawyer's service?

I am in similar situation with about 300 days of absence. Also, I did not get paid during that period. How about salary payments related to your absence period?

Thanks, Kishore

Lawyer is not required., Just you need to get a letter from employer if possible.

Hi,

Thanks for reply. What about the salary payment for those absences?.

Thanks.

[prss_vel83]

Have your payslips in home country and bank statements. You should submit it only they ask for it.
