The letter needs to be from your employer, as stated on your WP.My WP was transffered to a company which bought my exisisting company, all the assests and contracts were transffered to the parent company inlcuding my WP. If I manage to get letter from the parent company would it be ok?
So as far as the OP is concerned, he is "still engaged in the same employment". So I would be surprised if there is a problem in getting ILR.In considering applications for indefinite leave in this capacity, caseworkers must be satisfied that the applicant:
- has spent a continuous period of 4 years here in this capacity;
- is still engaged in the same employment; and
- has met the requirements of Paragraph 131 throughout the 4 year period
You say that the WP was transferred to the parent company, if this is the case, the parent company's letter is required as it is technically the employer. I would think that a letter worded "We hereby confirm that as at (insert date of your ILR application), (your full name) is an employee of (the employer's name)" should do the trick.My WP was transffered to a company which bought my exisisting company, all the assests and contracts were transffered to the parent company inlcuding my WP. If I manage to get letter from the parent company would it be ok?
I think that if the employer is doing all the obvious and usual things that happen as regards redundancy, and is not treating the OP unfavourably in any way, then there is no possibility for the employer being sued for breach of contract ... whatever is in the letter.Chess wrote:The employer will definately be reluctant to issus such a letter as employment will be 'discontinuued' in the near future. The OP could use such a letter and sue existing employer for breach of Contract
My LTR reamin expires 31st March 2006. This was the case,when my employer calculated for 48months, that being Jan 06,but since it was not on the multiples of 6.John wrote:Oldklangrd, I have read your posts in this topic and the following is not absolutely clear.
You have an employment visa in your passport .... what is the stated expiry date on that visa?
John - you know I don't profess to be an immigration expert, but I'm not sure that it is as straightforward as this. The Immigration Rules sayJohn wrote:I think it is worth looking at the IND guidance to its staff :-
CHAPTER 5 SECTION 1 - WORK PERMIT EMPLOYMENT
In particular at 4.1 :-
So as far as the OP is concerned, he is "still engaged in the same employment". So I would be surprised if there is a problem in getting ILR.In considering applications for indefinite leave in this capacity, caseworkers must be satisfied that the applicant:

The original post (which some others seem to have overlooked) makes it clear that oldklangrd's present employer is not prepared to provide a letter that doesn't refer to his imminent redundancy. If the employer cannot be persuaded to change his mind, I suspect that the decision on the ILR application may depend on the caseworker's knowledge of the Rules, as opposed to the instructions. I repeat, I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that a caseworker could use 134 (iii) to justify a refusal if he/she were minded to.134. Indefinite leave to remain may be granted, on application, to a person admitted as a work permit holder provided:
(i) he has spent a continuous period of 4 years in the United Kingdom in this capacity; and
(ii) he has met the requirements of paragraph 131, 131A, 131B, 131C, 131D, 131E or 131F throughout the 4 year period; and
(iii) he is still required for the employment in question, as certified by his employer.
-: would IMHO be sufficient to get the OP their ILR.I have been asked to confirm that Mr OP is still employed by this company. I am happy to confirm that to be the case.

Thanks for one and all for your valuable knowledge sharing. I have got my ILR and there was no trouble at all. Walked in, submitted the documents, very few questions asked, got the ILR stamped in 3hrs time. Bit relieved now.
Could you also please advice me on what is the next step in my naturalisation?
Thanks once again
Congratulations, oldklangrd!oldklangrd wrote:.....I have got my ILR and there was no trouble at all. Walked in, submitted the documents, very few questions asked, got the ILR stamped in 3hrs time......
