Dear all,
I am non-EEA member who have worked under Tier 2 visa for 2 years. I am about to get married soon. My fiance is a french and he is a qualified person who also works in UK.
Can I have two routes to PR at the same time?
if I don’t apply to EEA2 when I get married, Can i still apply to PR after 5 years as family member of my husband?
if I apply EEA2, Does it means I can’t apply for PR in 3 years time under Tier 2? I don’t want to lose the 2 years I built up.
Thanks a million!

You have to choose one migration route or the other.
Yes, RC is optional.
Tier 2 time doesn't count towards acquiring PR as you weren't married and didn't have an EEA sponsor who was a qualified person at that time.

Thanks noajthan,
May I ask you a little more just to confirm please?
If I get married and I remain as tier 2 (do not apply to EEA2) now. if in 3 years I couldn't satisfy tier 2 condition for PR then I can still apply for PR in 5 years time(from now). Is it correct?

In principle yes, but it depends on a number of factors:
- if sponsor remains a qualified person;
no prolonged absences from UK;
you remain married;
no Brexit;
