Tier 2 to ILR - lost P60

[waqarsadiqali]

Hi there,

2 quick question for my visa from Tier 2 to ILR. The home office website states that the absences from the UK should fall in line with the annual leaves granted and in my case it's 28. The problem is with one of the years where my total absences (outside of the UK) are 35 and that’s mainly because my employer sent me on 2 weeks fully paid trip to Australia. And the days spent in Australia were not a part of my annual holidays' quota. Now, If I get the letter from employer mentioning the dates and reason, would that be enough as a proof? If yes then it will bring down my absences to 25 which will resolve the issue.

Another question is with regards to ‘when to apply’ confusion. The applicant complete 5 years on the basis of visa approval date or arrival in the UK? I came into the UK after 20 working days from the day I got the visa stamped.

Thanks

Provided you were not gone for more than 180 days in any one year, it doesn’t matter how many days you were out of the UK for.

However, you do need a letter from your employer for ALL absences, for whatever reason (work or paid annual leave).

You will be fine if your employer gives you the letter for your absences

Hi there

I have to apply for my ILR in few weeks and I am not able to find one of my 5 years worth of P60s. My employer doesn't seem to have a copy either.

Please, let me know what options do I left with? Is this mandatory to provide 5 years worth of P60s?

Thanks

Why do you think you need to submit P60s?

[waqarsadiqali]

To prove the income. I am on work visa, therefore, to prove that I got paid the right amount in my account.

You need payslips and bank statements for 3 months.

I got my visa stamp on 6th of June, 2013 and I arrived in the UK on 28th of June.

Now, when is the earliest can I apply for my ILR? from the date of issue or the date of arrival in the UK?

[CR001]

from the date of issue

[waqarsadiqali]

and 28 days before the date of issue?

[CR001]

yes
