ILR - Is mix of settlement visa acceptable

[Aswinjoshva]

Hello,

I’m living in the UK from Jan’2017 with different visas (2 ICT visa, 1 T2 General Dependent and T2 Skilled Worker visa)

As far as the settlement type of visa is concerned, I became T2 General Dependent on 31/01/2020 which had coverage for a full 5 years.
Due to the uncertain situation of my wife’s sponsor, I switched from T2 General dependent to T2 Skilled worker visa with my current employer in Dec 2021 who has issued visa for 3 years.
Therefore by this December, I will be nearly completing 5 years with mix of 2 settlement visas (as said above).

My question here is, as I have already spent nearly 2 year as T2 Dependent before my current PBS, is there a possibility to apply for ILR if my current visa ends in this Dec? Because I was continuously in 2 visa’s that leads to settlement in UK.

Please clarify.

No, you cannot combine dependent visa time and main visa holder time to make up 5 years for ILR.

You need 5 years as dependent OR 5 years as main skilled worker visa holder.
