Re: switching from tier2 ICT long term to Tier 2 general

1) Someone told me Tier2 ICT established staff arriving betw Apr 201 - Apr 2011 can change as the rule change was a typo only and they are still allowed to change to tier 2 general. Is it true? 2) Now that Tier2 ICT established staff arriving betw Apr 201 - Apr 2011 can stay unlimited, so does that ...

Re: switching from tier2 ICT long term to Tier 2 general

The Apr 14 rule change is particularly harsh on those, like you, who came to the UK as T2 ICT Established Staff in the period Apr 10 - Apr 11. Your spouse can be sponsored to become a T2G migrant but she would have to apply from her home country and have a CoS. Under current rules she would then be...

Re: switching from tier2 ICT long term to Tier 2 general

10 year route no chance we know. Any option for me here or after going back home country without dependent option? Sad that things are getting complex in rules.

Re: switching from tier2 ICT long term to Tier 2 general

Got it now. Thanks but does this mean there is no route to stay longer here or get ILR for me as I came after in Mar 2011. Can my spouse with dependent visa switch and be eligible for ILR? I have stayed 4 years now means even if I switch I can stay maximum 2 years which does not justify to switch. S...

Re: switching from tier2 ICT long term to Tier 2 general

hi, Can you help in getting the document that says if I switch to tier 2 general then I will be allowed only limited years and will not be allowed ILR. I read that rule only applies to anyone who had leave before Apr 2011. As mine was entry clearance in Mar 2011 and not leave, I assume the rule does...

Re: switching from tier2 ICT long term to Tier 2 general

T2 ICT Established Staff is still allowed to switch to T2G I arrived in Tier 2 ICT before Apr 2011. Thanks for confirming that I can switch. Will I be allowed to get 5 or 6 years in Tier 2 general and be eligible for ILR after 5 years of switch. I saw few posts which made me confused that new rules...

Re: switching from tier2 ICT long term to Tier 2 general

Hi Manci and all,

Has the rule changed anything this Apr? Is established staff arriving before Apr 2011 is still allowed to switch to tier2 general. I have got a sponsor who is ready to sponsor but I need to look for a job myself.

Re: Apr 14 Change in Rules - Switching from T2 ICT to T2G

Thanks for sharing. So it no longer makes sense for people with Tier 2 ICT before Apr 2011 to switch jobs. Their stay would be capped with no provision of ILR (which was possible prior to these rules by spending 5 years in Tier 2 General). Also, in such a case, the option for people with Tier 2 ICT...
