US persons: sterling pay, two years here, and settled status or a narrow 70% visa route

Kensington requires applicants to be UK residents and taxpayers paid in sterling, with two years of UK residency and settled status. There is one visa carve out: more than two years left on a skilled worker visa, two years in the same job and income above £75,000 gets you to 70% loan to value. Dollar salary is the hard stop rather than the passport.
