Does that mean someone switched from Tier1 Enter to TIER 2 can apply for ILR: As it clearly indicates the combination of Tier1 except(PSW)
UPDATED IN November 2014

It seems so from your post but when I last checked a few months ago, combining different tiers for 5 year ILR wasn't allowed

Also keep in mind that if you are switching to Tier 2, you must earn at least £35K for 12 months before your ILR application as per the below document

1-Sir these are update rules and applicable from November 2014 so it is clearly allowed at the moment(Do not know if they exclude Tier1 Entrepreneur like PSW in future God forbidden) but Yes it is ok now(35,000 for 12 months or 24 months is not a big issue/another issue)

2-However point to be noted is rules for ILR for Tier1 Entrepreneur still does not allow combination of Tier 2 General first and then Tier1 Entrepreneur to complete 5 years that what I understood.(say for example any Tier 2 general after 2 or 3 years changes to Tier1 E)

3-a little clarification,say for example one applies before Tie1 E expire(28 days before) he gets rejected do they still allow 28 days to shift category or review? even his leave expires during the application processing time?

Thanks for reply.

Bit more clarification needed for 5 years stay with more recent stay on tier 2 (switched from tier 1 entrepreneur visa) :

1) Regarding more recent two years stay - I understand that while we are in tier 2 general, should meet salary requirement to apply for ILR.

2) Regarding, earlier three years stay in tier 1 entrepreneur visa, do we need to invest the funds (200K example ) in initial three years into the business and meet two employment requirement to get the ILR.

Please reply urgently.

Here is the most recent ILR application form which we can use with no clarity raising eye brows on my above said two queries.
