My husband will complete his 5 years in UK on Feb 21, 2012 on WP+Tier 1+Tier 1 extended. We’ve taken a PEO appointment in Solihull on 25th Jan to apply for his ILR (along with mine & my daughter who's born in India)

He was out of the country for around 230 days out of which there’re around 60 days of business travel, and the rest are all Annual leave.

He’s been working with the same employer for the past 5 years. His employer is not giving a letter detailing all his absences because of a new accountant & HR. They’re only giving a letter which says – ‘He’s been continually employed with us since Feb 21 2012 and there was no break in his employment since then’.

Will this letter suffice, or is it really important to have a detailed absences letter from the employer. We do have all his original 5 years payslips, 5 p60s and he was paid in full all these 5 years.

Btw, He was never out of UK for more than 90 days at a stretch or more than 90 days in a year.

The home office takes absences over 180 days very seriously and it gives them the excuse to refuse applications.

I would suggest your husband should convince his employer to give him the letter; otherwise your application could be in trouble.
