Current status:
Global talent tier 1 - exceptional talent promise route from arts council, and the ILR route is after 5 years.
( Was holding Representative of an Overseas Business visa for one year before switching to Tier 1 Global Talent)
Upon checking the “Check if you can get indefinite leave to remain “ page, it stated that the 5 years times in the UK requirement visa combination does include “ Representative of an Overseas Business “.

However, when my immigration lawyer and myself read the immigration rules page, it did not mention “ Representative of an Overseas Business”; below is a quote from the page:
“ GT 11.3. The continuous period must consist of time with permission on any of (or any combination of) the following routes:
(a) Global Talent; or
(b) Innovator; or
(c) Skilled Worker; or
(d) T2 Minister of Religion; or
(e) T2 Sportsperson; or
(f) Tier 1 Migrant, other than Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur). “

The Global Talent version 6.0 doesn’t mention this too.

I called the UKVI number provided online, and the lady in the phone she can’t help with this; emailed them they say they can’t give advice; ask my professional reputable immigration lawyer, she also said the both website pages don’t seem match too. Would be appreciate if I can have some support here .
Thank you!
