HI,
I am going to apply for my ILR in OCT if for any reasons it gets rejected/refused and my visa expires in oct'15.
My company wants to sponsor me for Tier 2 . How soon can i apply for it and should I go back to INDIA for applying my tier 2 visa or can i apply it in UK .
Thanks

As you are on Tier 1, there should be no reason to refuse your ILR unless you have excess absences or a tax issue with different incomes declared to UKVI and HMRC at some point in the past with an extension. There have been a few refusals recently for this reason as deception.
However, based on your question in this post :

I hope that you have a sponsor in mind who is on the approved sponsor list and are not thinking of the umbrella company or contracting route for Tier 2 as this in not permitted on Tier 2 General.

If you have not absence, income or tax issues and you meet the requirements and points, then ILR should not be an issue.
Is your company an approved sponsor?

There is a bit of a process involved. You might be better asking about switching to Tier 2 in the Tier 2 forum. I believe you can switch within the UK before your current visa expires and after the company (if an approved sponsor) does their bits of the formalities.

Hi CR001,
I really like your true comments! But almost everyone gets worried when it comes to iLR. E.g I am a self-employed and can score maximum points, ie I have no issue with HMRC, Tax paid on time, no absence issue and the only issue which worries me alot is the driving offense 10 months ago, which I challenged in a court! I don't know whether I should have challenged it or not! But I had an option and exercised my right to seek a justice in a court!
