Financial Evidence for ILR from Tier-2 ICT

[harshitguptaiitr]

Posting on behalf of friend.

My friend is applying for ILR after beng on 6.5 years on Tier 2 ICT Visa.

Company sponsored Visa issued on passport: 30-Mar-2010
Physically entered UK on Work Visa: 10-Apr-2010
Visa renewed: 2013, 2015
Current BRP validity: Dec 2018
Knowledge of Life: Passed in Feb 2016
Knowledge of Language (IELTS Life Skills B1): Passed in Aug 2016
Days outside UK during last 6.5 years: Less than 270 days

I have question regarding financial evidence

P60 form (download online from company portal): Last 4 years only
Payslips (downloaded online from company portal + stamped by company seal): 12 months

She has a savers account in which she transfers money from her current account. So balance in current account is only enough to pay for direct debits.

Should she provide bank statement from both the accounts (current account + savers account) to show that she has funds to maintain herself and both her dependants (dependants are not applying)

She also has National Insurance statement from HMRC confirming that she has six qualifying years.

Can she post that letter (from HMRC) with application to show her financial stability?

Home office can check her employment history using her NI number. No need to provide extra documents.

I don't think it is mentioned anywhere that the applicant need to show some kind of maintenance fund for ILR.

She is using SET (O) Version 04/2016

Section 12
SET(O) Version 04/2016 Page 76

Evidence of your finances. If you have to complete section 5, bank statements, building society savings book(s), pay slips or other formal documents as evidence of your ability to maintain and accommodate yourself and any dependants without recourse to public funds.

Yes, I agree. It is good to show some savings not mandatory though. I have only submitted 3 months current account statements just to prove the income.

The reason to show saving account statement is because she transfers all money from current account and only keeps enough for direct debits.

Although current account statement does show the incoming transaction from the employer.

She has a savers account in which she transfers money from her current account. So balance in current account is only enough to pay for direct debits.

Based on replies on this forum, she will submit the following documents for finance:

P60 form (download online from company portal): Last 4 years only
Recent Payslips (downloaded online from company portal + stamped by company seal): 3 months
Recent Current Account Bank statement: 3 months, showing 3 incoming transaction from employer
Last 1 month Saving Bank account statement
