Tier 2 ICT- ILR?

Post by teshams » Mon Jun 17, 2013 2:34 pm

Hi-am currently on a Tier 2 (ICT) issued in Oct 2010 and valid to Oct 2013. Just wanted to know if, based on current rules, I would be able to apply for an ILR once I have lived in the UK for 5 years?

unfortunately not as your T2 ICT leave did not include a period before 6 April 2010

Similar question, but my situation is different.

Dec 2008 - came to the UK on workpermit visa, valid for 1 year.

Dec 2009 - at the end of workpermit, applied for sponsorship extension within the uk, but had to go back to India and apply for visa extension, and was given a Tier 2 ICT visa for 6 months. (out of the country for only 1 week).

Jun 2010 - got my Tier 2 ICT EST Staff leave to remain resident permit card within the UK for another 2 years.

Jun 2012 - got my Tier 2 ICT Long Term leave to remain resident permit card within the UK for another 2 years.

So, by Dec 3013 I would have completed 5 years of working in the UK. All of the above extensions were part of the same job and role and I became a permanent staff in the UK in Jun 2010.

Just wanted to know if I would be eligible to apply for ILR by dec 2013?

Thanks for your help.
