Tier-1 to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

[Devb]

Hi,
My Sister is currently on TIER-1 (Second Term).

During her first One and Half years in UK (under TIER-1), she was having a partnership Consultancy firm (Self-Employed). Then she switched to a full time salaried employment. She has to apply for the ILR in 2012.

To our understanding, we assume all she needs to prove for ILR is;
[b]1. She was economically Active/employed for the last 12 months (that is from 2011 to 2012)[/b]
• Can Proofs be Pay Slips, Bank Statement and Letter from employer (for the 2011-2012 period only)?
• Does HO need her tax remits for all 5 years (P45/P60 and self-employ tax)?
• Does she need to bring the Self-Employment accounts and tax payments for her First One and Half years under Tier-1 (before the TIER-1 extension)?

[b]2. She was not out of UK for more than 6 months.[/b]

• What are the other documents she needs to keep?
• What are the checks and cross-checks done by HO once we submit the ILR?
• During ILR Application, does HO check and require all previous TIER-1 Applications, Income and tax payments etc..?
