Hi,
I'm due to apply for ILR soon . Would like some clarification regarding maintenance fund requirement and the points required.In the PBS calculator there isn't a specific section for ILR applicant, so how is one supposed to calculate their points?The eligibility section mentions one need to have 75/80 points based on the visa category they are in.I suppose we need to use the PBS calculator for Tier1 category for ILR as well? If so this leads to my confusion regarding maintenance funds. Do we need to maintain 900£ in account for 90 day period as we would in Tier application for ILR as well?Is there any requirement at all for maintenance funds in ILR application.I can show some money in my account to be on safer side but it does not meet the continuous 90 day period.Any info in this regard will be great.

Thanks

I confirm this much, no requirement to maintain a level of funds for ILR. I am not sure on points but I did take with me the results from PBS calculator and outlined that I am claiming 95 points.

Thanks for that.Did you apply in person and was it recently?My understanding regarding the maintenance funds was also the same until I got confused with the points based calculator.Also, saw some members mentioning in the forum they were asked for proof of maintenance funds.

Yes, I applied on 28th Feb in person at Croydon PEO. There is definitely no need to maintain funds (unless anyone can prove otherwise). PBS calculator is used (for ILR) only to prove points eligibility etc but you have to remember that this is for applicant who is applying as extension (or in other words, generic).

Hope that helps.

Thanks Rakeysh.
