I am 21 days short for the 5 year anniversary, am I eligible for ILR? And when could be the earliest date that I can apply in person or by post.

How many points at least do I need to score? 75 or 80?

Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Anyone on the same boat?

The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be
counted toward the qualifying period, as long as it does not exceed 90 days. This can occur
if the applicant is delayed travelling to the UK. Provided the period of delay does not exceed
90 days, it will not be counted as an absence.

- What is the minimum salary requirements for ILR?
For WP migrants and Tier 2 migrants, salary should be at least equal to the relevant SOC code as mentioned in the Codes of Practice (COP).
For Tier 1 (General) migrants, points are awarded according to their previous earnings in a consecutive 12 month period (within 15 month window) preceding the application.
Note for Tier 1 (General) migrants - The points one must score depends on the date of initial application and the rules in place on the date of such application (245CD(d) and 245CD(g)). The date on which the leave was granted is irrelevant. Likewise, whether you earn more or less or same as at the time of initial / extension application is irrelevant as long as you score the min. required points at the time of settlement application.
