Who told you your employer must provide you with such a letter ????! You employer simply needs to say that your absences from work were approved by them. The details of your absences or what you did are NOT relevant. No employer will provide such letter and no one expects them to do either. Also, NO evidence is required except for your passportsmikelee001 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 2:42 pmHi all,
I have a questions related to if I need to provide flight booking / receipts as an evidence for my absence in the UK.
My absences from UK are within the limit requirement, but my employer cannot provide me letter to confirm each of my leave are approved by them, as they are not aware how I spent my holiday.
I can provide my old / current passport with the stamps on them as the validation for my absence dates. Would this be sufficient? OR do I need to provide all my flight booking literary to approve this?
Thank you all in advance.

What you have detailed above is sufficient.mikelee001 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 11:07 pmHi all,
Please see below the employment letter issued by my employer, which they said is the standard letter they issue for ILR purpose. Would really appreciate if you could take a look and let me know if this is sufficient (especially in the absence confirmation part). Any advice would be fantastic.
Letter as below:
Private and Confidential
UK Visas and Immigration
SET(O) Indefinite Leave to Remain
PO Box 591
Durham

Dear Sir/Madam,
Please accept this letter as confirmation that XXX has been employed within our UK
offices since 10 Oct 2015. XXX currently holds the position of XXX.
There is a continuing need for XXX to remain in permanent employment with this firm in
the UK.
Based on the codes of practice for Tier 2 sponsors we have identified the most appropriate
code of practice for XXX's role as XXXX – XXXX. As XXX's annual gross salary is £XX, we are able to certify that he is paid at or above the appropriate rate for this role. Please also note that XXX is entitled to
annual leave of 25 days per annum. As you will note from XXX’s schedule of absences
from the UK, XXX is frequently required to travel outside the UK as part of the duties of
his employment.
For information, the firm's e-payslips are the only official and authorised notification of payment
that employees receive.
It is the firm’s policy not to provide any other details.
Thanks srsw for replying. It doesn't mention my weekly hour (my hour is 35 / week), is that something I should ask them to include?

If leaves are within the limits then no further action required.mikelee001 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 1:17 pm

My absence is within the limit of 180 days rolling basis and 90 days in the last year. If that is the case, would the content in the letter be sufficient? I have c.20 days unpaid leave, and some sick leave out side UK, but all within the limits, does the employer need to state those specific reasons and all absences are allowed by them?
Thank you.
1. No.mikelee001 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 3:14 pmHi all,
I am applying through 5 years working route, and have a couple question related to the 5 years tax proof.
I understand I will need to provide my past 5 years P60 from my employer (I only have one employer) and 6 months pay slips. My questions are below
1. Do I need to call HMRC to get my 5 years tax payment proof as part of the application document or my 5 years P60 would serve the purpose?
2. My company's P60 can only be provided in the employer portal (the same HR portal as the e-pay slips). Do I need to get an additional validation letter for my P60 too? Or P60 is normally distributed in the self-service employee portal.
Thank you all very much.

Hope you are all doing well.
I have a question related to filling in the absence form. I have c.40 absence entries including c.10 weekend absence entries (e.g. holiday travelling to Europe with denaturing on Sat and Returning on Sun).
1. Do I need to list these weekend absence in the form?
2. What should I do for the absence entries that I cannot fill in the form? There are only 30 entries space in the from. Provide them in the additional information section or create a document in the format of what is on the application and upload it S part of your documentary evidence.
Thank you very much.
1) Departure date and arrival date is not counted in absences. Only full days are counted. So if you left UK on a Saturday and back on Sunday, it is not an absence. If you left on a Saturday and back on Monday, only 1 day absence. No need to mention the former case(s).mikelee001 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 6:50 pmHi all,

I have some questions related to uploading evidence in the ILR application.
1. I noticed in my document check list there are two items as below. I am currently working under a tier 2 visa and I have a BRP stated my visa. Are below two items the same thing for me? What is evidence of immigration status?
a. Evidence of XXX (my name) immigration status in the UK
b. Current Biometric Residence Permit for XXX (my name)
Yes
2. I was asked to provide below. Can these be the same thing for me?
a. all previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that you have used to travel to or remain in the UK
b. Other evidence of XXX's reasons for absences from the UK (when I filled the form, I said my old and current passports stamps can prove my absences as well)
All you need is passport(s) covering last 5 years, employment letter and absence letter from employer
3. I don't have my HK national identity card with me, but I didn't use that for travel, I used my passport. Do I still need to provide that for 2b requirement?
No
4. Would the document scanned by my phone (using CamScanner app) okay for the quality or it needs to be from print machine?
Yes. I have always used my phone. No issues.
Thank you all very much. Really appreciate your help.

Your BRP serves the purpose

b. Other evidence of XXX's reasons for absences from the UK (when I filled the form, I said my old and current passports stamps can prove my absences as well) correct
3. I don't have my HK national identity card with me, but I didn't use that for travel, I used my passport. Do I still need to provide that for 2b requirement? No
4. Would the document scanned by my phone (using CamScanner app) okay for the quality or it needs to be from print machine? If it stays within acceptable format, size and it is legible/quality, however worth doing well if machine is available
Thank you all very much. Really appreciate your help.
