New entry clearance versus residential requirement

[broccoli]

Hello folks,

I was wondering about the following: if a person was on an ICT long term migrant visa, then traveled back to home country and applied for an entry clearance as T2G, while the older visa was still active: would the time spent under the first visa count towards the qualifying residential period for ILR? Please note that this question is applicable to cases predating the cooling off period related amendments.

Thank you

any insight please?

It depends on how long that person has been out of the UK

If it's within limits, it would count? even if it was an ICT post-April 6 2011? because the latter didn't have a route to ILR on its own right. Would that change if an entry clearance on a different route followed it (as long as it was active while the new EC was being processed)?

All the above is a bit unclear to me, especially the fact it was a non-ILR category. Add to that the fact every one seems to talk about a clock reset if a new entry clearance is applied for instead of leave to remain.

Thanks and awaiting further feedback
