Hi All, I have talked to my company officials and this is what they have mentioned in their response: "As per the Tier2 Guidance document available on "http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier2/ict/", following is the rule for extending your stay in the UK unde...

But, where does it say that I can be extended beyond 5 years on Tier 2 ICT ?

Many thanks Ban.S - I was actually looking for this kind of detail so that I could send it to my company's concerned people. I went through the text under 245GE, but, could not pin point the exact sub point which will be valid for me. Can you help me by telling which sub-point under the rule will im...

I know, but, I need to provie it now in front of them. Is there anything mentioned under the UKBA guidelines which I can show to my company?

I know I am eligible for ILR, but, as my current visa (leave) is expiring in July, there is an extension process that has been initiated for me. My company is saying they will not be extending it beyond 5 years because I am not eligible. Actually, if I get extended in my current visa category (Tier ...

Hi All, In a strange turn of events, I have been told by my company that I am not eligible to get my Tier 2 ICT extended beyond 5 years, however, based on my understanding of the rules, as I came to the UK before the rules change in April 2010, I should be eligible for extension beyond 5 years. Foll...

Experts, please help!!! Your ideas will be of immense help.

Hello Experts, I am currently under Tier 2 ICT and came to UK on this visa in the year 2009. Since then I have got 3 extensions which takes my current leave in Tier2 ICT till December 2012. Now, I am being offered a Tier 2 General from a company, so, I just want to understand whether I'll be able to...

Experts, i just reviewed that tier 2 ICT-long term route does not lead to settlement in UK. That means even if I have stayed in UK for five years under ICT-LT, I wont be able to file permanent residency after that...is this correct? I think it depends whether you entered before or after the rule ch...

Got it - So, if the OP was here under the rules before 6th Apr 2010, he would have been able to make a switch.

Thanks

So, how can one switch from "Tier 2 ICT" to "Tier 2 General"? Because as per one of your posts, under rule 245GD, you can make a switch from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General.

Hi friends,

After getting an ILR, how easy/difficult is it to call my brother and mother from outside UK to UK and on which visa?

Can I apply for their ILR passport while they are outside UK?
If no, which visa can be applied for them and what will be its validity?

Thanks in advance!

Hi friends,

I'll be applying for my UK citizenship in a while and I just want to understand that if after getting my UK passport, if I intend to move to Australia and apply for a Australian citizenship, will I be able to hold both citizenships or will I need to forfeit one?

Thanks in advance!

Many thanks for your reply, Joh...!

The only doubt I had was if I get extended for 1 year every time from now onwards, I would require 3 extensions and whether UK Home office will still consider my start date as prior to April 2010?

I know we can't tell anything right now, but on the Home Office webpage there is a statement mentioned --> "If you applied under the Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) category before 6 April 2010, or if you switch into that category from being an intra-company transferee work permit holder, you m...
