Guys, just wanted to let you know that UK Border approved my further leave to remain application allowing me to switch to Tier-2 General visa even after leaving the employer on Tier-2 ICT 6 months ago.

However, it still doesn't help resolving the questions around "extension"

Thanks manci..I thought so
Sigh! The contract roles in UK market are super-lucrative..wish I had a chance.

Hi manci, As I'm no longer with the firm (sponsor for my Tier 2 ICT - Est Staff visa) and I'm still looking out, am I eligible to apply for the contractual/temporary roles in the market? My understanding is that you can do so only if you continue to be sponsored by your original employer or if you'v...

I agree..it's so damn confusing and chaotic!! It has affected so many friends n colleagues of mine :( Guys, what do you make out of rule 245 HD - (c) (ii)? It seems the primary purpose of putting in THAT clause is to take care of (or rather reject) those cases where people had been granted T2-ICT vi...

well, just an update on this - it has been now 75 days and I haven't received a letter from UK Border curtailing my visa. I called them up earlier this month and the response was - "Nowadays we don't usually write to the candidate but we advise you to keep looking for the new employer within 60...

However, as per the dialogue and conversations I've had so far with my immigration advisor coupled with the information on UK Border website, unfortuna...

well, it was verbally communicated to me that the HR will report my situation to UKBA within 10 days. However, I'm not sure whether that took place.

Anyway, it's a huge relief to know that the my clock starts ticking from the date of decision and not my last day at work

Hey guys, It has been a month since I've been made redundant but I haven't yet received any letter of intimation from UKBA stating my "last day of unemployed stay in UK" as per the visa curtailment period. Does anyone know how long does it take on average? and, more importantly can the let...

Thanks manci..you are a saviour!!

Hi guys, need an urgent help/advice as everyone seems to have his/her own interpretations of the new rules..:( My queries:- 1) I came to UK on a T2 ICT-ESTABLISHED STAFF VISA (3-yr). My visa application was submitted on 5th April 2011 (so before 6 April'11). However, my visa issue date is 26-Apr'11 ...
