Switch from Tier 2 to Tier1, ILR requirements

Post by tej0925 » Tue Aug 09, 2016 2:35 pm

Hello,

Can you someone help me in understanding the calculating continuous period in uk for ilr, below is the scenario;

On Tier 2 two years and Tier 1 Entrepreneur completed 3 years. In this scenario can the two periods will be considered for calculating continuous period in uk for ilr?

Responses appreciated!!

Unfortunately, Tier 2 cannot be combined with Tier 1 Ent for ILR if your last leave to remain was Tier 1 Ent
So verily, with every difficulty, there is relief.

No. Any time spent on Tier 2 will NOT be accepted as qualifying period under Tier 1E five year ILR route.
However any time spent on Tier 2 will count towards the 10 year ILR route (private life).
