brp error in visa type

Dear Experts,

Can you kindly advise me on my settlement application?

I entered uk in 2011 as a tier 2 general migrant and has been here since then.

My last tier 2 extension application was in June last year and I had a new sponsor for that application.

My application was approved and approval letter stated tier 2 general migrant.

The BRP on the hand has tier 2 ICT long term printed on it.

I did not notice this error until now when I am applying for Ilr after completing 5 years stay in the uk on tier 2.


My appointment is already booked so my question is what I should I do about this error.

Shall I continue with my settlement application and explain the error?

Please advise as I am really panicking.

There must be a number mentioned on the letter which you received with the BRP. Call them or alternatively, get your visa extended first and then apply for ILR.
