Your 5 year clock to ILR would start when you had the T2 General.

Umbrella companies CANNOT sponsor Tier 2 workers.

Also, you cannot switch to T2 General from within UK. You will have to apply for T2 Gen from your home country and you will most likely be subject to 12 month cool-off period.

Totally true. This visa was issued AFTER April 6, 2011, therefore the cooling off period applies. Sorry, I was thinking it was issued between April 6 2010 - 2011... silly me!
