Exceptional talent to ILR - potential issues

Hi all,

On this forum quite a lot of people were asking if we can combine Tier 2 general with Tier 1 exceptional talent to hit 3 year rule and the answer is pretty clear - yes we can!

However, I am curious about other requirements-
(i) During his most recent period of leave as a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) Migrant, the applicant has earned money in the UK as a result of employment or self-employment in his expert field as previously endorsed by a Designated Competent Body; and (ii) That Designated Competent Body has not withdrawn its endorsement of the applicant.

When we say most recent period - what is the reasonable length of this period? How long one need to be employed on Tier 1 visa to satisfy this requirement?

Thank you!

Just get one more monthly salary payment from your current employer confirmed by payslip, and you should be fine.

Thank you. Do you know by any chance where I may find a bit more information on this? Any documents from HomeOffice? It sounds so great that it is hard to believe! Thanks!

It looks like there is no information except the official guide.

My immigration advisor made an inquiry about similar case regarding to duration of "most recent period" and amount of "earned money". There are no extra hidden requirements.

I think it makes sense. Why would HO put more barriers for T1 (ET) recipients?
