ILR Application for Tier 1 ET Under Emerging Leader

[Keviv947]

I have completed 3 years under Tier 1 ET Emerging Leader category and planning to apply for ILR. I continued working with the same employer (post switching to tier 1) for 14 months after which I resigned and started my own Limited company providing services in the same area as endorsed by Technation. I have filled my self assessment for 2018-19 . I have good track records or credentials of past 6+ years of earnings and including the first 14 months under Tier 1 ET. Initially, it took some time to set up the Company following which due to COVID-19 there is not much scope to demonstrate any recent earnings. Please advice if I can go ahead and apply ILR with all 14 months of earning credentials (including previous years earnings) as basis and proceed with ILR? ILR Guidelines do not clearly mention minimum earning threshold limits unlike for other categories. I believe we have to show that earnings are from the same field of specialization and not necessarily the most recent earnings like 3 months payslips etc. Please advise as appropriate

There is no minimum earnings. I am not sure how the COVID19 effects may influence your ILR

Thank you for your quick reply. My case being specific, I'm keen to know which proof of earning is most appropriate as not much happened in the recent past due to COVID. Can I show all the previous payslips when I was an employee for the first 14 months inside tier 1 visa? Thanks
