Switching-Tier 2 (General) to Tier 1 (General) within UK

[PVM005]

Hi,

I am on a Tier 2 (General) which I have got before 6th April 2011 (I was on a Tier 2 (ICT) till Dec 2010), can you please tell me if I can get an ILR if I continue to be on Tier 2 next year as I will complete 5 years or I need to switch to Tier 1 and also most importantly is it possible to switch from Tier 2 (General) to Tier 1 now? I would be highly obliged if you can help me with the information and guide me in the right direction.

Thanks

Tier 1 (General) is closed to new applicants .... has been for more than a year now!

For current rules regarding settlement as a Tier 2 (General) migrant, read 245HF, in particular 245HF(x).

Thanks a lot for the confirmation/clarification and the link it really helped as there were a lot of misleading and confusing details I got from people. Really appreciate.

Thanks
