Tier 1 G apply ILR

I have some absences, I went back my country to see my parents every year, each time last only 1-2 weeks. total absence days in 5 years is only 70 days.

Can I simply say "see parents" as "Reason for absence" in the application form? will these be refused? Or I have to stated these as "Business Trip"? Any idea? Thanks.

any one can reply this question? thanks.

"See parents" is the totally logical information to supply.

You are allowed to visit your parents! And have a holiday outside the UK!

Thanks for the reply. As it is not business related, I worry, if there is no employer letter, will this be refused?

One of my previous employer (from 2.5 years)is saying we do not provide this letter.
I am thinking of writing a personal letter and printing out the email trail which shows that they are not very helpful ?

any other advice?

Again :-

I take it the answer to my question is a NO

If you see forum threads on absences people have submitted self signed letters when absences are less than 180 days in 5 years .

UKVI is least bothered about minor absences, what they are really interested in is:

* Evidences of tax paid in perm/self employment since last LTR application
* Absences to meet ILR continuous residency
* Genuine Earnings Test
* Points scored in current application
* Dependent eligibility
* Cohabitation
* KoLL

Hope this helps.

Its simple ,

e.g if earnings is 45K required and tax paid is 8K, They want to see the same as per HMRC records on P60/ Employment history
They have access to PNC and other govt information systems

Thanks Argus

I will be applying as Tier 1 General and no dependents



I have the last 12 payslips and bank statements with required earnings

Do I still need evidence of Tax paid over the last 5 years?
and what is Genuine Earnings test - assuming that is for Self employment?
