EEA EFM switched Tier 2 General -> BNO visa?

Hi,

I have previously been granted an EEA EFM status (using my BNO passport), however, the relationship was ended after 1.5 years and I managed to switch to a Tier 2 general (using my HK passport), in which I am 2 years in this visa. At this point, I am thinking to switch to BNO Visa as I would like to have a bit more flexibility (i.e. not linking to my employer etc.). From reading the other posts, I understand that the 2 years I have accumulated from the Tier 2 general will count towards the 5 years timing for ILR. I have two questions regarding my situation and would appreciate if anyone could share any guidance:

1. Does the 1.5 years EEA EFM count towards the ILR?

2. Since I currently am using the HK passport for my Tier 2 and would like to switch to the BNO visa, does it still apply the 5 year ILR rule?

Thank you in advance.

1. No it doesn't.

2. Yes.

Hi Eliza, did you switch to the BNO visa at the end? If so, how long did it take to get approved?

Many thanks!!!!

Hi - I applied end of April and I am still waiting...
