Hi,
I came to UK with Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) visa in 2009 and returned back to my country on Jun'10. After few months, i got an another project work on the same year Dec'10 and traveled back to UK by getting a new Tier 2 ICT Visa as i was told by my employer that my CoS had been reverted though my visa had validity till Jan'11. Since then, i have extended my visa three times in UK. My question is whether i would be eligible for applying permanent residence (ILR) in this year based on my first travel? or will it cause any problem as i have traveled to India in the middle of this journey and my second time travel had been falling under the new ILR policy change dated on Apr'2010?

When i checked with an emigration solicitor, they were asking me to give a try, but it comes with the huge cost (3500£ (2385£ application fee + 1200£ agency fee) in total) I can go for it if there is more assurance for it, else i can wait few more years for long-term stay ILR path.

Any assistance on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Kind Regards,
Srija

Looks unlikely to me.

On the basis of the first time, i.e. snce 2009, you would not be eligible as you have a gap between June 2010 and Dec 2010 if it is over 6 months.

If your application (second time) was made AFTER April 2010, then you are not eligible.

you will get it likely.

I came across similar path, and I got ILR in 2015. please see my old post.
