"Supplementary work" ? Can you please define it? Is it a work you had done for your employer who brought you into the UK on Tier 2? FC Yes you can apply for Tier 1 (General) if you meet the following criteria on your current Tier 2 (ICT) visa. Here is the link - http://www.ukba.homeoffice...

Thanks for your replies.

I have 1 more query.

If my company apply Tier 2 Visa for me then can I apply Tier 2 Visa from UK?

If your company applies for Tier 2 visa then you can apply for Tier 1 within UK but you need to hurry up as Tier 1 (General) is closing starting April 4th, 2011.

If you need to apply then you have to leave UK and then apply for from your home country. That's not an option - as Tier 1 is closed now (for applications outside UK). yes you are correct that Tier 1 is closed outside UK so the only option which Nishant is left with to apply from within the UK but ...

Hi all, I got this reply Dear, The changes to the Immigration Rules that were laid today do not affect applications made in the UK. Tier 1 (General) will remain open to all in-country applicants until 5 April 2011. There will be transitional arrangements for Tier 1 (General) migrants who wish to app...

Incidentally, in anticipation of the transitional arrangements being made clear, might be prudent for current T1G holders to maintain a "suitable" minimum balance in their bank accounts for the next few months. Previously when HSMP was closed in 2008 they made transitional arrangements fo...

Thats good news but dont know what transitional arrangements the UKBA would levy for us... I am applicable for extension in 2012 so lets wait n see.
