1. I have entered UK on 26 Feb 2019 on ICT visa
2. ⁠my family entered UK on 23 Aug 2019 on ICT dependent visa
3. ⁠My skilled worker visa approved for self and family members on 5th May 2021 ( as per COS work start date 12 th July 2021)
4. ⁠I have transferred to new employer skilled worker visa approved on 4th March 2022, valid up to 17th April 2027

Question :
Since my my Skilled Worker visa approved on 5 May 2021 and as per COS work start date 12 July 2021,
When should I apply for ILR in the month of May or July 2026?

The COS start date is irrelevant for ILR.
You will be eligible for ILR within 28 days of completing your 5 years, counting from your first visa issue date.
