My question was, the date that application was made/submitted? (In order to determine which rules were in place at the time) I.e. rather than the date it was approved.April01 wrote:This visa was granted on the 3rd of September 2010.

Yes I understood that, but it was done by the company my husband is working in, they appointed a registered law firm to help him get the ICT Tier2 sorted out, so it is very difficult to assess the actual date of the application submitted.
Thanks ,

Also when should we start the count of number of days, from the day the work permit was issued or the date we landed in the UK.

Thanks for clarifying.cs95tdg wrote:It's the same question or potential issue I have highlighted in my previous response below. The gist of it is that if your husband's Tier 2 ICT was not granted under the rules in place before April 2010, then that particular residence period may not be considered as part of his overall ILR residence. The effect of this is that then his ILR clock would begin on the date his Tier 1 General residence began on 23/06/2011 instead of 05/08/2008 (WP EC). So it would be key that you find out when that Tier 2 ICT application was submitted. You may want to contact that law firm to find out the details or if that's not possible raise a SAR.

April01 wrote:Dear cs59tdg,
I have a few queries so I am doing a pm, as my case is pretty complicated according to me. We came on work permit to the UK on 19 aug 2008 and the work permit was issued on 16july 2008. Since when should we start calculating number of years for ILR qualifying period?
We got ICT tier 2 from 03/06/2010 to 03/09/2012.
Then we switched it to tier1 and the visa is valid from 23 june2011 to 23 june2013.
My husband's tier2 visa was issued in the month of September and he had qualified for in excess of 85 points for his tier 1general.
My husband is employed by the same company he was working for in UK since the last 4 years but since 23 July 2012, he has been working in India and has been coming to UK off and on like every 2 months for 2 weeks.
We have our own accomodation and are living in that and my husband has been visiting us.
His absence period is more than 180 days in this last year but it is because of work which he can prove and show by way of a letter obtained by his company.
Does he qualify for ILR? If so when is the earliest we can apply or should we look an extension of tier1 ?
Thanks,
Kindest regards,
A.

It is around 6 June 2010 because i got a letter from the ukba to come for the biometrics dated on the 7 Aug 2010.cs95tdg wrote:If you haven't read the response I provided below, please do so. You appear to be asking the same question on eligibility again, without providing/finding out the answer to the question of when your husbands initial Tier 2 ICT application was made.
With regards to absences, you mention he has exceeded the 180 day annual threshold. Please read through (page 9) the following guidance to understand how absences should be calculated. Simply stating a total is not sufficient. You will need to count absences back from his ILR application date to determine whether he meets the annual threshold or not. Please bear in mind that with the immigration rule changes that came into effect in December last year, absences due to business/employment purposes are not considered exceptional, so will not be subject to discretion if the number exceeds the given threshold.

If this is correct, then according to my interpretation of the immigration rules his ILR clock would begin on 23/06/2011.April01 wrote:It is around 6 June 2010 because i got a letter from the ukba to come for the biometrics dated on the 7 Aug 2010.
