tier 1 (2 years) + tier 2 (3 years) = ILR?

[trading1302]

Hi,

I came to UK in September 2010 on student visa
Then switched to PSW in March 2012
Then switched to Tier 1 Entrepreneur in Jan 2015
Now on tier 2 general shortage occupation list valid from Jan 2017 to March 2020

Please advise what will be the fastest route for ILR for me or is there any other faster options for PR in Europe.

Please exclude any investor visa options as I can't afford any

Thanks

Unfortunately, time spent as a student or a Tier 1 (Post Study Work) Migrant or a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Migrant does not count towards the 5-year qualifying period for ILR under Tier 2 (General) (245HG).

Perhaps you may qualify under Long residence in 2020.

UK routes are pretty slick if you can commit.
