Re: ILR with 5 years Tier 2 but 1 year Tier 1 GE in middle

Cheers but I reviewed that response and its not quite that clear. Yes Tier 1 normally can be rolled in.... (b) The applicant must have spent a continuous period of 5 years lawfully in the UK, of which the most recent period must have been spent with leave as a Tier 2 (General) Migrant or Tier 2 (Spo...

ILR with 5 years Tier 2 but 1 year Tier 1 GE in middle

Assuming 6 years total permanent residency without student visa component. Had a Tier 2 for 7 months. Then since I was still within 12 month window as a recent grad started my own company and secured requirements to get Tier 1 graduate entrepreneurship visa. Had this for 1 year before ultimately lea...

Leaving and re-entering the UK with assigned CoS

Hi, I have a very quick question. I am on a Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Visa but have been assigned a CoS for a Tier 2 from my soon to be new employer. I have scheduled an appointment on the 27th of August 2015 for the premium in person same day application with UKVI. As such I believe that my curr...

Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Visa and ILR qualifying period

Does anyone know how being on a Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur visa impacts the qualifying period for indefinite leave to remain? I was on a Tier 2 corporate sponsored Visa after graduating from a UK university for <1 year. Then I switched to a Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Visa because I was still in ...

Re: TIER 2 (General) to TIER 1 GE to TIER 2 (General)

Cheers thanks @marci, 245HD section K is a bit worrying though It appears even with Tier 2 leave to remain that if I was on entry or leave to remain as a Tier 2 at any point in the past 12 months then I cannot apply until that 12 months has lapsed. Since I was on Tier 2 and have now only been on Tie...

Re: TIER 2 (General) to TIER 1 GE to TIER 2 (General)

Thanks so much @manci. While it will not have been 12 months since my last Tier 2, since I have entered the country "again" on a Tier 1, I would only be switching to Tier 2, not applying for entry via Tier 2. That appears to be the loophole if you will, just not much literature on that sit...

TIER 2 (General) to TIER 1 GE to TIER 2 (General)

Hi all, I was previously on a Tier 2 General visa with a large corporate in London. I subsequently left and obtained a Tier 1 GE visa to work on a startup here in London. This is good for 1 year however it is very possible we may not last that long and I wanted to know if the "cooling off"...
