ILR Eligibility WP ( ICT)+ Extensions+Tier 2 WP
Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 2:18 pm
Hi all,
I first entered UK on the 2nd October 2005 on WP (ICT). The work permit does not say ICT anywhere and its the old work permit system.
Got 2 extensions again on WP all well before the expiry of the active LTR.
Got Tier 2 WP on the 3rd June 2009 while the previous W/P was still valid.
Was out of country november 2007 for 5 days on vacation ( continued to be paid in the UK).
Was out of country on vacation for 2 weeks in february- march 2008 again on vacation, but continued to be paid in the UK.
Quit my previous employer on the 3rd June 2009.
Joined my new employer on the 10th June 2009.
Been continously in the UK since March 2008 ( never been out of the country).
My questions are:
1. I recently read that there is some problem with ICT not getting counted for ILR. Is that true in my case?
2. Will the 7 day break in emplyment ( ie leaving the old job on the 3rd June and joining the new employer on the 10th of june 2009) affect my ILR?
3. Is my case a straightforward one or do I need to take help from agents?
4. Do I get eligible for my ILR on the 3rd September 2010.
Many thanks for reading my post,and thanks in advance for your guidance.
