@ 2014drobin,
1. Can I switch to Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa?
2. Do I have option to switch under both £50k or £200k category?
Ans: You can either switch through 50k Venture capital route or 200k route. You cannot use the 50k in personal or third party account route as this is only for those with existing PSW visa.
3. I am under Tier 2 General for 2 years. If I switch to Tier 1 Entrepreneur now and stay for another 3 years in England, will I be eligible for ILR?
Ans: You can get ILR after 3yrs under Tier 1 entrepreneur if your business get a turnover of £3million or employed 10 full time workers within the first 3yrs. Apart from this, you cannot combine 2yrs Tier 2 general with 3yrs tier 1 entrepreneur except if the combination will be to apply for 10yrs long residency ILR.
4. Can Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependants work in UK?
Ans: Your dependant will be able to do any type of work with the exceptions stipulated on the visa which is usually (Restricted work No DR/dentist training).
5. If my Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa gets rejected for any reason, will my current Tier 2 General visa be still valid and active?
Ans: If your tier 1 entrepreneur visa is refused, you will be able to complete whatever remains on your existing tier 2 general visa.
