Combining Time on Tier 2 visa with Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa for ILR

[jonser]

Hi All,
I was granted Tier 2 visa on Jan 6, 2014 and then switched to Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa which was granted to me on Dec 04, 2015. I have been the main applicant all through. Is it possible to combine time on both visas to apply for ILR after Dec 06, 2018? I was initially planning to just put in an extension application in December but if this is true, then this changes everything. Could anyone knowledgeable in this please confirm?

Thanks in advance.

You need 5 years on tier 1 as far as I understand.

You can only combine the categories to make 5 years if you had tier 1 first and then switched to tier 2.

Oh...that's disappointing.
