Set (O) form - section 6.1

[priyahere12]

Hi
I need help with section 6.1 on the set(o) form for the ILR application ( 5 yr tier 2 general route).
I switched from PSW to Tier 2 (within uk itself) in 2013 and qualify for ILR this year based on the 5 yr rule.
On the set (o) form , what date should I use in this section below as I didn't really enter uk on Tier 2 as I was already in the country when I switched from PSW to Tier 2.

Any one who has recently applied for ILR via the Tier 2 route who switched to Tier 2 from within uk - could you help clarify this ?


6.1 When did you (the main applicant) first enter the UK? This
refers to the date of your first entry into the UK at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based

Thanks in advance.

Priya,

The date you applied/or were granted Tier 2 visa. As your ILR application is based on your Tier 2 G 5 years.

Thanks for the clarification apsk! much appreciated.

@cyclina1 - If you read the question 6.1 again it does state it has to be on the category that the application is based on. I've noticed your comments on a few other queries and you seem to be confusing people by your vague replies. If you're not sure what the answer is, please avoid commenting so it won't confuse people.

We are here to clarify not to confuse each other.
