As I said the compnay (company 2) has closed down, so there is no new letter head !! The recent letter from my ex-manager is on the letterhead of the company he currently works in. All pages signed and stamped !!Company 2 is no longer in existance. Do you think reference letter from company 2 on the old (orginal) letterhead and another letter (with the same content and the magic line) from the person on the letterhead of his new company will suffice. My ex-manager is okay on being contacted directly and I am going to mention his contact details in the cover letter.
The more recent the letter the better. Also giving contact details helps makes you case stronger. It would be better if you can get the experience letter on the new letter head (just in case they decide to call up someone else other than your manager...but 99% no one verifies this as long as its on a original letter head, signed and if possible rubber stamped)
Thanks ... this is usefulI suggest on the top of all the work experience letter you put a table which shows hows the 9+ years are worked out. Explain any gaps in the table. Show your Start Date, End Date and what it stands for in terms of number of months...this summary will be very useful for the case worker to follow and award you necessary points
No prblems here. I have all of it with me - and all in order. If I wait till November, I can easily qualify for higher points from earnings (Income Band 2), but as I said earlier, I am happy submitting the application claiming 65 points only.Job reference letters need to be backed up by other evidence such as pay slip, tax documents, bank statement , etc or other documents.

Work experience - India.
Education - Bachelors from India, Masters from UK.
As for some background info. on the past & present employers, here's it is -
Company 1 - Let's ignore it as I am not going to mention about it in the application. Well, it was a small partnership firm !!
Compay 2 - Indian organization, one of the leaders in Indian market in its sector while it was operational (sad that it closed down 'cause of mismanagement).
Company 3 - A US transnational, amongst the top 3 global leaders in that industry sector. I worked for the Indian subsidiary at a middle management level.
Company 4 - A UK transnational. A household name worldwide and in existance since the last century. I am working at a senior level position (within Indian operations) and the reference letters have enough evidence in them to prove that. It is a different story that I am not claiming points for senior level experience (no advantage, better to ask for 65 only).

I must say that the temptation to follow your advice is growing slowly (but steadily).sac wrote:ukjobsforme: just a suggestion, if you have to wait two months to qualify for earnings points, and if you're not in a tearing hurry, i would advise you wait, because the more points you earn, the surer your approval is. remember the whole point is to prove you will be an economic asset to the UK - and what better way than to show a high income level?
good luck

As mentioned above, Company 1 and Company 2 do not fall in the category of MNCs.
Company 3 - a US entity - was a publicly traded company (Fortune 500 member) till 2001. Following acquisition by a larger holding group (Fortune 100 member) in 2001, and a further sale to a $63 billion private equity and investment group in mid 2006, this company now (with a new name) is a privately owned entity.
I don't expect the caseworker to know all this, but am banking on the fact that the orignal name of the company is well-known around the globe.
Company 4- is a UK based organization and is a FTSE 100 member.

I have always believed that this is perhaps one of the best forum to share information and experiences, and gain advice. You just proved me right once again.Your work experience does not need to be in MNC to gain point in work experience. Although Company 1 and Company 2 do not fall in the category of MNCs. But at least you have tax evidence, pay slip etc. This will help you if you want to count your experience for this company. Quite a few people fail to claim point in this categiry because they do not realise that it is your interest and, 'NOT of the case worker', to prove your involvement in the Job. If the caseworker do not conveince with your involvement they simply refure to award you point in this category. As simple as that.
If you submit document such as your pay slip, tax document, bank statement, etc their only interest to see is that there is a strong evidence that you really igot nvolve in that Job.
