if not then can it be switched to Tier 2 long term ICT while i am here no, only if you apply from abroad for entry clearance .

Or is there any other way to extend my stay. marriage to a settled person (if you are not married already)

Hi sushdmehta,

What you did finally? Could you speak with UKBA to find the possibility?

I mean if it is possible to switch to ICT long term while you are here in UK and your salary is above 40K?

Only permitted if the application meets paragraph 245GD(b) of the Immigration Rules, which state:
(b) if the applicant is applying for leave to remain as a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant in the Long Term Staff sub-category:

(i) the applicant must have, or have last been granted, entry clearance, leave to enter or leave to remain as either:

(1) a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant in the Long Term Staff sub-category, or

(2) a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant in the established Staff sub-category under the Rules in place before 6 April 2011, or

(3) a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant granted under the Rules in place before 6 April 2010, or

(4) a Qualifying Work Permit Holder, provided that the work permit was granted because the applicant was the subject of an Intra-Company Transfer, or

(5) as a representative of an overseas Business, and

(ii) the applicant must still be working for the same employer as he was at the time of that earlier grant of leave.
