Thanks a lot for your help Sushdmehta. Just want to be sure nothing has changed, hence I wanted to hear from some who had made application recently to Home Office under tier 1 general ilr category.

Please can any one who has made successful recent ilr application under the above subject category to home office, kindly confirm if maintenance fund is required for ilr. Please if not required, could you provide link where it did say so. I'm a bit confused on this. Please need help. Thanks.
