Thank you for all your valuable advice. I understand that the 4-year new entrant rule came into effect in 2020. However, the Home Office has granted my friend a 5-year skilled worker visa from a student visa. How is this possible? Did the Home Office grant a 5-year visa without considering the rule? Should he notify the Home Office of this?

A student can get a 5 year Skilled Worker visa if he is being paid the usual Experienced worker salary for the job code applicable at the date of application. It is highly unlikely that the caseworkers would make such a mistake. Most probably he would have been paid the Experience worker salary, if he was granted a 5 year SW visa. He should consult with an Immigration Lawyer to get his facts and documents assessed before approaching Home Office.
