Tier 2 ICT to PBS Dependent to Tier 2 General - ILR application eligibility

[mabbath]

Hello,

My visa status in UK till now can be summarised as:
Period 1. Tier 2 ICT from Sept-2012 to Feb-2014
Period 2. PBS Dependent from Jun-2014 to Oct-2016
Period 3. Tier 2 General from Oct-2016 onwards till date

Does my clock get reset at the beginning of every new Period?
If not, can I apply for an ILR any time now or in mid 2019?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Does my clock get reset at the beginning of every new Period?

Yes, for ILR based on 5 years residence.

If not, can I apply for an ILR any time now or in mid 2019?

No.

You require 5 years residence in one category, ie 5 years as PBS Dependent OR 5 years as Tier 2 General. This was already advised when you asked the question in 2016.

Hello,

Thanks for your response. With quite some changes to immigration laws, I just wanted to confirm this again. Hence, my question got repeated. Did not mean to spam.

Thanks again for your kind response.
