ILR (WP + Tier 1) next month - Pls help

[rajesh321]

I am newbie on this thread but found it very helpful so far. I'll be applying ILR on WP+Tier1 next month however need some help with following questions:-

- At present, I am on Tier 1 however was on WP between 2007-2009, Can you pls tell me if my employer letter should mention SOC code for work permit. I have been with same employer throughout five years.
- I have traffic offence for speed on international driving license and appeared in court in 2005 however it is now more than 6 years. Shall I mention it on application.

Many Thanks

You don’t need to mention SOC code on your employer letter as you are no longer on WP. You still need WP letters to cover the period you were on WP.

The employer letter you need for your application would be same as in the case of any Tier-1 applicant applying for ILR, which should have your name, employment dates, job title and salary.

you don't need to mention spent(speeding is on ur licence 4 years) convictions... don't worry....u have to mention only unspent convictions. For u no worries.. all the best

Linkers, what are WP letter you suggested. Is it work permit original document only or any additional thing

Hi Rajesh, I am no expert but from this forum you can see many similar cases:
1- if you have been with same employer then their letter certifying your employment history will serve as an evidence for your work permit years
2- WP letter is the original work permit docuemnt which was issued by home office, take it with you although in some cases they dont ask for it
3- P60 is very useful and they sometimes ask for it to cover the 5years but in your case at least the work permit years as it showes you were working for the employer stated on the work permit. So if you have all 5years worth then take them with you.
4- all of the bove docs in addition to your final year docuements needed for tier 1 points as stated in SET O
All the best, keep us updated, i am applying in May with similar case.

rajesh321: yes the WP letter is the original work permit document.

Thanks all of you for valuable information.
I got one year P60 missing out of work permit although has photo copy of it(HR sent later). Also I rang home office for employment history document for full five years which should come soon. Fingers crossed It should be ok
