hi Admins or CASA please help me here

as of now i am not eligible to ILR on my current visa
i have Tier 1 (general) visa now ending on nov 2017
dependent (wife) = with me since 2013 May last 4 years

i got opportunity to move Tier 2 visa

Q1. if i move to Tier 2 visa after 1 year can i go for ILR based on (4 years Tier 1 visa + 1 year Tier 2 visa)
is that eligibility any work visa 5 years mix with Tier 1 and Ter 2 ?

Q2. if i move to Tier 2 visa my wife ILR time will start from again towards 5 years or she can apply with me ILR ? (i am aware if i will go for 10 years route her timer will start from 0 again )

Yes for ILR under Tier 2 general, you can count any time spent as a Tier 1 Migrant, other than a Tier 1 (Post Study Work) Migrant or a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Migrant. However that does not mean the HO will not examine any tax/income declared during your Tier 1G period when you apply for ILR. You cannot avoid that by switching if that is your concern.

Q2. if i move to Tier 2 visa my wife ILR time will start from again towards 5 years or she can apply with me ILR ? (i am aware if i will go for 10 years route her timer will start from 0 again )

Her ILR time will remain untouched as PBS dependant.
