2. how can i check when my application was submitted (CoS ) for the VISA by my company, if they had submitted before 6april, i still have a little chance ?
if all fails, am i still elligibe to switch from my existing ICT to T2G?
your question not understood
………what i was trying to tell you was is there any way i can check when my visa application was submitted for processing?
For the visa application you will need a CoS number which your new sponsor should give you. If they have an unrestricted CoS allocation available they can assign the CoS immediately, otherwise they have to apply for an allocation but this shouldn't take longer than about 2 weeks (if that).
Only you can submit your visa application so you should know when that will be.

IMHO you may be eligible for ILR in March 2015 if you can provide confirmation from your sponsor at the time that your 180 day absence from the UK before 06/09/2010 was because they deployed you to work abroad.

Hello Manci, Thanks a lot for your opinion. you have provided me a hope to prepare for ILR application
Requesting to provide advise/options on the 'Referene letter' required.

I will try my best to get a letter from my previous (indian IT) employer.
But as I mentioned, getting a letter from indian IT company (my previous employer) is cumbersome, in other words I can't get it.
cumbersome is not the same as not being able to get it. If you are really unable to get it some other credible evidence may be accepted by the HO at their discretion.

yes

If so how long can I extend?
indefinitely if your sponsor wishes to continue employing you

I am in UK since 11 Apr 2011 on Tier 2 ICT long term and my visa stamped 4 Apr 2011 and extended until 02.05.2016

I would appreciate if you could answer below 2 questions;

1. Could you let me know if i would be extend my visa beyond 5 years ?

2. I also worked for my company in UK since Jan 2010 more than 180 days with Business visa due to min 12 months payroll requirement as I was on 3rd part company's payroll abroad, so I am wondering if I am eligible for ILR if my sponsor can provide me that they deployed me work abroad & business trip base during 2010.

Thanks in advance

Regards
