Please if some one can provide guidance on transfer of visa from Tier 1 to permanent residence visa (Indefinate Leave to Remain).
I am on Tier 1 i have already completed 3 and half years, the extension is till 2012.
This is when my 5 years under hsmp and tier 1 finishes.
Just wanted to know my eligibility for applying for ILR after 5 years.

No can tell you today what the rules for settlement may be in 2012. But for settlement (eligibility and application) under current rules, see Chapter 6A - Settlement and Settlement.

For the purpose of settlement, there is no restriction on dependants regarding absences from the UK.
