Tier2 ICT Dependant Visa for dependant mother

[vipulss]

Hi,

I am in the UK on a Tier 2 ICT short term migrant staff visa entered in March 2015 from India. My family : my wife and kids applied for a dependant visa and got the same. My widowed mother who is partially disabled and totally dependant on us applied for a General Visit Visa and got the same and she is also in the UK albeit she can stay maximum upto 6 months on this Visa. Now I am looking at the possibility of my employer extending my short term staff migrant visa to long term staff migrant visa for 2-3 years. However I cannot leave my mother alone in India as she is totally dependant on us. As far as I understand as per the ICT provisions, dependant parents who have no one else to take care of can apply for a dependant of Tier 2 ICT migrant visa though they have a burden of showing extraordinary evidence. My queries :

1. Will the General Visit Visa I applied for my mother bear any impact on the decision for the Tier 2 ICT Dependant application Visa I make for her : In the General Visit Visa I have shown that my mother has property and financial assets in India.
2. What are the chances of getting a success on the Tier 2 ICT Dependant Visa application for my mother.

Can you provide a link to a policy document where it says you can sponsor your mother? The policy document and UKVI website I have looked at says dependents are 'Your partner/spouse or children'.

Please read section 3.4 on the above page.

But you are not a Work Permit Holder you are a Tier 2 ICT visa holder.

Isnt the Workpermit the same as a Tier 2 ICT Visa? Can you please tell whats the difference?

[CR001]

No. You cannot get a Work Permit any more. This was replaced by the Tier 1 and 2 points based system and these are the rules you would need to follow.

So, What is the conclusion on this question?

I have similar condition where my employer is ready to sponsor me on Tier 2 ICT Long term visa for 3 years. I cannot leave my mother alone in India as she is completely dependent on me. Can I bring my dependent mother along with me to UK for longer term (3 years) instead like Visitor visa of 6 months.

Thanks
