Hi all,

I have got appt for my ILR (Solihull PEO) next week. My visa status for the past five years is Tier1 General (3 +2). During that
period I took 5 days unpaid leave for my marriage, but the leave was authorised by the employer. And I have also got my Marriage certificate, and invitation to prove. My employer have provied me with a letter saying I am a permanent employee for past five years . I am just wondering whether the unpaid leave I took will affect my ILR application. Guys please tell me what do you think.

Thanks

5 days unpaid leave will not affect your ILR. Just in case write a personal note as to why you took that lelave. If asked you could give that. But in your Immigration history mention that 5 days were for your marriage. This is what I did when I went to Solihull. My leave for 5 days was for a funeral. CW just read and was satisfied.

Trust your total absences over 5 years is not excessive. Mine was 50 days.

Thanks kevin. My absence from UK for past 5 years is 63 days (including my 5 days unpaid leave). Can you please tell me when did you went for your ILR appt mate.

With your 5 days leave Personal Note attach your Marriage Certificate also. One page short note.will be enough. I wrote a blong note CW was laughing whether I wrote an essay.

List is fine.
But
1.Why Employer's letter with salary break up?
2.Why cover letter detailing absences?
3. Hope your Salary is more than the sary when your Tier 1 extension was give.

Employer letter as an additional proof for my earnings if bank statement and payslips enough i may not submit it

what I meant was the letter with details regarding my unpaud leave as you adviced me

I am getting enough points for the last 12 months earnings.

I hope your wife is not applying togather as I didn't see any cohab docs in the list. Good luck mate.

1. Bank statements and Payslips are enough.Get a letter from Employer that Payslips are authentic.
2.Unpaid absences letter is fine.
3. No! What I meant was your salary over 5 years is it above when the salary when you got your Tier 1. My friend's application was refused because the salary was less.

Is your last 12 months salary more than your the salary when you got your Tier 1.?

Does it matter?

I read the link. Some CWs are insisting that the salary at present should be higher than the salry you got when at the time of Tier 1 granted. You could argue this out with the CW.I haven't experinced Myself. You could check with some one about this.

Actually my salary was a bit low in one year during that period
What was your friend's previous visa status was it HSMP + Tier 1 or Tier 1 General for 5 years..

Tier General. If you salary is low then don't go to give P60s to CW.If your other documents are very good normally they don't bother.
