Hi All. With the ILR application looming in August i'm in the stressed-out stage with areas of mental fog instead of clear answers to some questions. Such as : with the required Contract of Employment, and 'Letter from The Employer' for my wife Tass, who has been with the same employer since 2018 at least, is a brand new Contract signed within 28 days before the submission of the application necessary ? Similarly, is a new 'Letter from Employer' signed within the 28-day-rule for documents required ? These are docs that were submitted for the FLR visa of course. Is there a basic difference between these two employment docs in terms of how up-to-date they have to be, as i notice that in March 2019 when we applied for the FLR the Letter was bang up to date (Feb 28th 2019), but the Contract was dated October 8, 2018, about 5 months old,  and it all went through ok.   

The original contract confirms the length of employment, permanent employment, etc. Submit that.

 

The employment letter should be recent (preferably within 28 days of the date of application), and is evidence of the applicant's continued current employment and current salary level, a kind of updated contract. 

Many thanks Tony M.
