T2 and ILR questions

[rvsdwk]

Dear board members,

history is as follows:

- T2ICT EC valid from 24/5/2011 (exp june 2014)
- Applied from home country for T2G EC on 2/4/2012 (on a short visit while T2ICT was still active), visa granted 11/4/2012
- Applied for T2G LTR (in country), visa granted 6/9/2013


questions are:
1- Does the T2 6 year cap apply to me?
2- If the answer to 1 is yes, does it count from the date of the T2ICT or the first T2G? What is the actual date for the 6 years cap in my case?
3- What date am I eligible for ILR?
4- How early can I apply for extension? what date do you recommend based on the 6 years cap

Thank you

1- Does the T2 6 year cap apply to me? For Tier 2 General yes.
2- If the answer to 1 is yes, does it count from the date of the T2ICT or the first T2G? What is the actual date for the 6 years cap in my case? Tier 2 General EC date
3- What date am I eligible for ILR? On what date did you ENTER the UK on your Tier 2 G?
4- How early can I apply for extension? what date do you recommend based on the 6 years cap What is the expiry date of your current Tier 2 G

You need to provide more detailed visa/entry details on Tier 2 G for anyone to advise you. We can't guess these details.

4- How early can I apply for extension? what date do you recommend based on the 6 years cap What is the expiry date of your current Tier 2 G

We can't guess these details.

You can apply for ILR no sooner than within 28 days before 11 April 2017 provided you meet all the requirements.

5/10/2016.
I will need to extend in that case - but the ICT time won't count towards the 6 years limit as you noted, right?
By the way, starting which date did this 6 years limit become effective? Is it for anyone with EC post April 6th 2011 or 2012?

Thank you CR001 for your time.

PS: I believe that Q7 should read Tier 2 ICT instead of Tier 1 ICT

Any time and feel free to ask any further questions you might have.

P.S. thanks for the heads up, I have corrected the little mistake in Q7
