Tier1 General and ILR enquiry

Hi,

Hope you all can help me.

I came to UK on Tier2 ICT and then migrated to Tier1 General. Got an extension for 3 years however this one was a overlapping one for 37 days. Below are the dates.

Tier2 ICT – applied on 24th Sep 2010 – Got Visa on 29/09/2010
Travelled to UK on – 09th Oct 2010
Applied to Tier1(General) on 30th April 2011.
Got visa valid from 07/06/2011 till 07/06/2013.
Applied for extension in April 2013 ..got visa valid (current one) from 30/04/2013 to 30/04/2016.

I only travelled outside UK for holidays less than 90 Days (I guess 180 days is the max total with in 5 years).

Now that Tier1 Extensions will be closed in April 2015 and I wont finish my 5 years till June 2016 (if Tier2 ICT is not considered).

Questions

1) Is my Tier2 ICT period considered for ILR?
2) If not do I need to go for another extension before April 2015? If so its well before an year on my current visa validity? Is this allowed?
3) If No extension (I Wish) is required am I able to apply for ILR on or after April 2016?

Please can anyone advice.

You have valid visa till April 2016 and that completes your 5 year period as well therefore you do not need another visa. I am not sure that whether your tier 2 period would count in tier 1. Please seek further help for this matter.
If I would be in your place I will simply apply for ILR when my Five year period finishes. You can apply 28 days before your 5 year completes.
