Tier-2 Short Term VISA extension

[chiruwp]

I am currently on Tier-2 Intra Company Transfer - Staff Migrant (Short term) and my VISA is going to get expired on 7th Jul 2012. I have come to know that there are certain changes being proposed from 14th June 2012.

I wanted to know if there is a possibility to extend my VISA to another short term via the same company as per the new rules in place ?

Sorry I did not find my answer in there.

I have come to UK on 18th Jul 2011 on Tier-2 ICT (Short term) and VISA is expiring on 5th Jul 2012.

Can i switch from Tier-2 ICT (Short term) to Tier-2 ICT (Short term) ?

The below is the category i would fall into "extract from the document". But i could not get to know if it possible or not as this says "maximum amount of time allowed for your specific sub-category" ?

------

If you are already in the UK and were last granted leave between 6 April 2011 and 13

June 2012 in one of the categories listed below:

• Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Long Term Staff

• Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer)Short Term Staff

• Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Graduate Trainee

• Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer)Skills Transfer

AND

• You have not since been granted leave to remain, entry clearance or leave to enter in

any other route;

you can apply to extend your stay for the maximum amount of time allowed for your specific sub-category. If you are applying for an extension in this way the job does not

need to be at NQF level 6 (or the equivalent in Scotland). However, the Certificate of

Sponsorship must confirm that the job is at or above NQF level 4 (or the equivalent

in Scotland) as stated in the codes of practice. The Certificate of Sponsorship must

also confirm that you will be paid at or above the appropriate rate for the job.
