ILR Absence - employer letter missing
Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:23 pm
hi All,
I will be(hopefully) applying for ILR next year. However I had a question about number of days outside UK and business visit. I think i will be having 160 days outside of UK by the end of my 5 year qualification period, of which there is a 4 day business visit for 10 weeks ( so total 40 days ) in year 2008. This was a business requirement, unfortunately i am not with the company anymore and I am unable to get a letter from them as of now. Will this be an issue ? given that I was out less than 180 days, do I still need to justify my absence ? If yes then is it enough that I have got payslips from that time and i have a got an invitation letter which the Belgian branch of that company gave me to help me with my business visa ? I also got a company letter from UK branch then, stating that I will be travelling and will be sponsored by company. But this was all when I applied for business visa.
Kindly help
