ILR employer letter without wording "required for the foreseeable future"
Posted: Mon May 25, 2026 11:08 am
Hi everyone. I am preparing to apply for my Skilled Worker --> ILR soon (using 5-day priority). However, my employer has strict HR policies and is refusing to include the exact phrase "required for the foreseeable future" in my employment verification letter.
Instead, they are only willing to provide a strictly factual letter confirming my start date, current job title, current salary, SOC code, and stating that I remain actively employed on a permanent contract.
Has anyone here recently applied for and successfully received their ILR using a factual employer letter that was missing the "foreseeable future" phrase? Any recent experiences would be highly appreciated!
