Holidays
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2013 8:25 pm
Hi there,
I am applying for ILR next month. Looking through the forum, I was unable to find a clear statement on what evidence I need to produce for my absence. As such I decided to post my individual situation and hope someone will kindly help me!
I have been on Tier 1 for 3.5 years and was on WP for 1.5 before switching to Tier1. I worked for 2 employers in total and I switched to Tier 1 while with my first employer. I have fewer than 180 days of absence from the UK during my qualifying 5 years period. My questions are:
1) Do I need an absence letter from both employers, current employer only, old employer only or none?
2) If a letter is needed, would it be sufficient for my employer to state that: I was/am employed with them from date-1 to date-2 and that all my leaves were for holiday purpose and they were all fully paid? or do they have to list all holidays I have taken in the letter?
3) Do I need to provide additional evidence that I was being paid during the 5 years period and in what form please (Bank statements, signed monthly payslips, P60s, employment history, other)?
Thank you so much guys in advance!
