Tier 2 W - Extension Free of Charge

[bjohnjebastin]

Hi Friends,

I like to have your suggestions and advice.

Today, I just gone through the document https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _04-14.pdf which gives a set of rules apply for deciding eligibility on Tier 2 W Extension free of charge.

In order to make an application using this form, you must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Have previously been granted less than two years in one of the
following categories:
• Business & commercial work permit holder (which includes ICT work permits)
• Sports & Entertainment work permit holder
• Jewish Agency Employee
• Member of the Operational Ground Staff of an Overseas-owned Airline
• Minister of Religion, Missionary or Member of a Religious Order
And
2. Applied for and were granted, Tier 2 leave through the transitional
arrangements in place for migrants in these categories; and
3. Are still working for the same employer (being paid the appropriate
salary for the job) that the original Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) was issued for; and
4. Will continue to work for the same employer; and
5. Currently have valid leave in a Tier 2 category (General, Intra-Company
Transfer, Minister of Religion, or Sportsperson); and
6. Were granted the maximum period of three years under Tier 2

I am a bit confused about the first point. My initial ICT visa was for 2 years and 14 days, but I changed the employment by 22nd month just before 2 years. In this case, whether the first point is valid for me?

Thanks,
John
