Tier 1 +2 to ILR

[silenceisgood]

Hi,

I would really appreciate if anyone would be able to clarify the following
I will be eligible to apply for ILR in May this year since I would have stayed in the UK for at least 5 years under suitable visa - from 2010 to 2013 under general tier 1 and from then onwards under general tier 2 visa. As I was looking at the forms and guidance, I noticed that we have to submit evidence to prove that we were definitely earning certain amount before I applied for general tier 1 visa - yes, tier 1 visa!.. I understand asking for evidence such as bank statements and payslip for the last 12 months but, not for my tier 1 visa which I got 5 years ago. I also don't understand why ask for the documents that have been submitted and verified by UKBA already. Even if I have to submit those documents, a lot has happened since then- I have changed my bank so, will not be able to get bank statements that's not active now..don't have those payslips...So, how on earth am I going to produce those documents? Or have I misinterpreted the form completely and I don't have to submit evidence.
Any experience on this, please share and suggest.
Thanks in advance for your time, help and kind consideration. God bless!

all you have to submit is past 12 months payslips and bank statements... you dont have to submit all those previous stuff before u entered. i got ILR on 21st feb and i did not submit anything related to before Tier 1
