Congratulations. Do we really need to provide last 4 years P60s? I got only one P60 for 2008/2009. I have lost the older ones but do have payslips to show my economic activity for missing P60s time period. Do you guys think I will be fine with my ILR application with only 1 latest P60?

Better apply from UK only. You will need to show only £533 (for yourself).If you are in UK for more than 12 months you need to show £533 for yourself. Check Tier 1 Guidelines - Maintenance Section. Visitor's can't change their status. You need to go to your country of origin to apply for dependen...

There is NO 5 years rule for ILR on student visa. You can not apply for ILR being on student visa for 5 years.

Student visa holders can apply for ILR under long residence rule after 10 years legal stay.
