Employer verification letter

[sandeepmarkandey]

Hi,

I have been living in UK for 8+ years. Currently I am on Tier 2(general) since Oct-14... so for 2+ years. Just prior to this I was working for a different employer for about 4.5 years, out of which last 3 years were on Tier 2 (general). So I qualify for ILR now.

Do I need to provide employer verification letter with SOC code, salary etc from previous employer/sponsor of Tier 2 (General) as well?

Many thanks.

No, but your previous employer should provide you with the required absence letter.

From the guide:

Interim caseworker action – missing evidence
If an applicant is required to provide specified documents from their employer explaining their absences and fails to do this, and the absences do not exceed 30 working days plus statutory public holidays per annum ( for example, such absences are likely to be consistent with paid annual leave), you can choose, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, to consider the application without this documentation.

You still need evidence where the absences in a 12 month period (as defined above) exceed 30 working days plus statutory public holidays.

Great, many thanks
