Hi,

I had VISA Tier 2 (ICT) Established Staff valid from 29/04/2010 to 27/05/2013 and I entered into UK on 23 May 2010. I got my WP extended till June 2015 with VISA type as T2 ICT Long Term Leave To Remain. Can you please confirm whether I am eligible for applying ILR. Thanks!

You are not eligible to apply for ILR via 5 years route, as you didn't have Tier 2 ICT leave before 6 april 2010. If you happen to stay in the UK job continuously until May 2020 with the same employer sponsorship, then you would be eligible for ILR via 10 years Long Residence route under the present UKBA rules.

Hi There,

Unfortunately I don't have the date on which my company have paid fee. But I got the email confirmation my employer quoting this on 15th April 2010.

Dear ********,

We have received the approval from the UK Border Agency of your Work Permit for United Kingdom.

You need to appear for the biometrics at the respective VFS Centre for further processing of the application. Please update your preferred date for the appointment by visiting Travel Request->Immigration Request->Switch role to employee
***********************************************

Is there anyway that we can get the details when my initial application was applied and fee paid. Appreciate your response.

That date is really important as if it was paid before 6th April, you fall under the old rules which permits ILR after 5 years residence.

Have you considered to do a Subject Access Request to HO for all the information they hold on you??
