Letter from Employer

Post by zap2deeps » Sun Mar 25, 2007 10:25 pm

I am working in the UK under work permit for the past one year. I want to switch the company I work for, and hence I have decided to apply for HSMP.

In order to claim points for previous earnings, I need a letter from my employer. However I cannot ask them directly because that would be taken as sign to change companies. What would be an appropriate excuse?

Say I ask my employers with the excuse that I need a loan or something. The letter would not be addressed to the Home Office. Do they accept this? Has anybody applied like this and got an HSMP approval?

Have you applied for it that way?

Did you get the letter with each of previous months salary stated seperately or just a letter telling the aggregate gross salary for the previous year?

My husband provided a statement of earnings from his employer addressed to whom it may concern. It had the monthly income (gross and net) for each month as well as the total for the 12-month period. His HSMP application was approved. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi,

The letter doesnt need to be addressed to HO, u can ask ur company's HR to even address it to urself since the letter will probably be sent to ur home address.

Ho doesnt care about if its states the letter is address to them or not, the important thing is the content of the letter which shud state how much u've earned for the period u are claimin for and also to mention how much u earn yearly, which is wot i submitted for mine in feb wen i got approval and just got EC today.

....And make sure the letter looks original so that they don't have to call your employer for verification. I had the same worry coz I had sent them names of key contacts they could call to verify - glad they didn't!
