If the employer provides you the letter with the wording "foreseeable future" then it will be totally fineTier2Gen_ILR wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2017 11:15 amHi,
I've been in the UK on Tier2 General visa from January 2013. I'm planning to apply for ILR in January 2018.
In the list of the required documents, I understand I have to provide a letter from my employer(sponsor) that I would be still working for them for foreseeable future.
I've been working for a client and we have current contract with them till June 2018.
I would like to know whether this 6 months can be considered as foreseeable future? Is there any specified time mentioned for foreseeable future?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
