ILR -accommodation query

[Ksenia]

Hello all,

I am planning to apply for ILR in may'11 ( SET(o) excluding long residence). My accommodation is provided by work and is free of charge. I am worried that case worker can look at it as i am incapable to maintain myself and might refuse in stamping ILR. Even though i am ok with money (i've got a savings account + current account). Can anyone advise please if i am right to worry about it,or is not an issue?

Best regards,

Best regards,

it depends on rest of your earnings and savings. if you could demonstrate that even employer providing accomodation you can survive then there shouldnt be any problem at all.

if you can, arrange for a letter from the employer to certify that they are providing accommodation to you (and your dependants, if any) free of cost.

Thank you very much for your responses!
I will get GM (who is the owner of the business as well) to write me a letter that states that he provides me with accommodation free of cost. Do you think it will be worth mentioning that if i didn't live on-site my salary would be slightly higher, or is it unnecessary?

Kindest regards,
