I would like inputs from the group members regarding my ILR eligibility, and would be grateful for your guidance. My situation is as follows-
* I got my Tier-2 visa (vignette) and the visa was issued with starting validity on 25 December 2020.
* However, I entered UK on 15 January 2021.
* I worked on the Tier 2 visa till 15 January 2023.
* From 15 January 2023 till 14 September 2023, they extended my job by 8 months on a Skilled Worker Visa.
* I will soon be switching on a Global Talent Visa (UKRI endorsed funder) valid from 01 September 2023.
I have following questions regarding my ILR eligibility:
- Since I will be on Global Talent Visa (UKRI endorsed), it says I am eligible to apply for ILR after 3 years of stay after the visa was endorsed. Does this mean 3 years from 1 September 2023 ?
- However, what confuses me is that the Global Talent Visa website also says that I can include stays on Tier 2 and Skilled Worker Visa to add up to 3 years.
Now, if the second option above is correct (i.e. I can include my previous stays on Tier 2 and SWV), does this mean :
1. I am eligible to apply for ILR on 15 January 2024 (3 years of my stay in the UK) ?
2. Also, since the ILR website says I can apply 28 days before the completion of continuous stay.
If I understood correctly, does it mean 28 days before 15 January 2024 (3 years of my stay) or 15 days before 25 December 2023 (3 years before my first Tier 2 Visa was approved).
Thank you so much in advance.
