i am on HSMP post 05 dec 2006. got extended my my visa in 2009 as tier 1. now due ILR in april 2012. my question is, for ILR do i have to have same salary for whole 5 years (in my case 35000 pounds) or last 12 months will be ok.
in my case my salary was dropped down for about one and a half year in middle years but now is alright and can make it to 35000 pounds for last 12 months by march next year. Salary drop is reflected in my previous P60s.

thanks.....

There is no need to maintain the income band for the full five years.

You can use the income of the last 12 months. OR for more easy understanding, the same income requirement as required for FLR. The same points criteria as for FLR. i.e. From last 15 months any consective 12 months income for the grant of ILR.
