Is it possible to switch from Tier 2 to Tier 4 within UK

Post by AKANTONY » Mon Aug 12, 2019 5:10 pm

Hi ,
I came to UK as a student to complete an MBA in 2011, I successfully completed it and changed my status from Tier 4 to Tier 1 in 2012. Status changed again from Tier 1 to Tier 2 in 2014. Now I will be completing 6 Years on Tier 2 in 2020. As I am short 7 months to complete 10 years in order to apply for ILR through 10-year route. Could someone advise on what all are the options I have to make a decision in order to get ILR in the UK? Looking Forward to replies.

Best Regards
Arun

Maybe read your topic from last year where you asked the same question and were already given advice.

Why not apply for ilr based on tier 2 in September when you reach 5 years?

Hi CR001,
It's the salary hike which is the issue.

If you wish to switch into tier 4 then yes you can if you can be able to fulfil its requirements

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
