If the main PBS holder is granted ILR on the basis of Long residence , then the PBS holder did not gain ILR in their current route, i.e. as a PBS migrant. My goodness. I honestly didn't interpret it this way. Still appears controversial as the OP was a PBS migrant when he gained ILR(though not on t...

HI OP Don't the below lines indicate that your partner needs to switch her visa? Just trying to understand. They do not have to switch into the category of partner of a settled person, provided that the main PBS migrant gains settlement in their current route or gains British citizenship following a...

Why does your solicitor want you to vary to LR?
I have read in previous posts that HO perform HMRC checks irrespective of ILR application category

Hi OP

Refer to the below post on Salary levels for ILR. FYI,

As you mentioned ILR, questions on extending stay: Assuming I manage to find a job, I know I can apply within 28 days of the expiry of my current leave. Now I understand the date of further leave to remain will start when the application is decided, likely increasing total overstay to more than 28 ...

Hi

There is a 12 month cool-off period between your Tier 2 ICT and Tier 2 General.
This means you might need to file an extension on your current visa or leave the country to complete the cool-off period

What do you mean by the below?
Was this an extension within the UK?

I came back to UK again in June 2010 ( Gap of about 8 months ) and was asked to apply for a visa again since the category was then Tier 2 ICT (Established Staff).

If so, how do we know the law?
I agree with the OP that the lines mentioned on gov.uk can be interpreted both ways

Hi mate sorry on your refusal. I think the gov.uk website does say the below. Looking at your immigration history, it appears like you were not on a dependent visa for the expected period I will let seniors to answer your other questions Eligibility for partners Your partner may qualify if all of th...

Hi, I am on a long term Tier 2 (ICT), which is granted in the month of May 2014. Previously, I had Tier1 HSMP Visa which was granted in the year 2008, however I couldn't travel due to personal reasons. I would like to know, are there any options of settlement. Not many I am afraid apart from Tier 2...

Hello, I am currently working in UK on my Tier 2 ICT 1 yr visa and then extended to long term. I would like to know whether I am eligible to switch my visa from ICT to Tier 2 General. My Visa Details are as follows, 1) Came to UK from India on 31 May 2011 with ICT Short term Staff Visa. But my visa...

Thank You Vinny and Popper. Is that anything my employer who provided ICT visa can curtail my stay and invalidate my visa after my last working day? Your employer cannot directly curtail your leave, however they are obliged to intimate HO that you have resigned. HO may or may not curtail your leave...

Hi Gopal

Can I ask if you work in IT? If yes, what technology
Would've sent you a PM but I think you need to have posted atleast 30 messages to send/receive PMs on this forum

Usually HO do not curtail your leave if you have less than 6 months left
Make sure HO has your latest contact details as leave curtailment intimations come by post

Hi, I came to UK in April 2013 on a Tier 2 short term ICT Visa, went back to India in Dec 2013 and came back again in April 2014 on Tier 2 Long Term ICT Visa. Since then my Long term Visa has been extended in UK. My query is when do I need to return to India for mandatory cooling period? Thanks in ...

Hello, This may sound a little premature, however I would like to know if there is a way to ILR if you are on a Tier 2 General Visa. I believe there have been a lot of changes to the rules and I am not able to get any clear information online regarding the same. I got my Tier 2 General in Feb 2016 ...

Hi, I came to UK in April 2013 on a Tier 2 short term ICT Visa, went back to India in Dec 2013 and came back again in April 2014 on Tier 2 Long Term ICT Visa. Since then my Long term Visa has been extended in UK. My query is when do I need to return to India for mandatory cooling period? Thanks in ...

Always amazes me so many Tier sponsors can afford to go through the effort and expense of obtaining a sponsors licence and the hassle of emgaging a migrant worker over a local one then be so skint they can't even pass on their employees tax. I think most of these are due to the so called umbrella c...

Hi

I think as long as you get back your new BRP and Passport you should be fine

Thanks Poper for your reply, really helped to confirm that I would need to return back to home country and reapply for T2G. So the most probable scenario playing out in my mind: - current ICT expires 3rd Feb 2017 - exit UK and return to home country - wait till 6th April 2017 for the £120,000 rule ...

Hi OP

I have read at least one instance in this forum where Tier 2 General was refused for an applicant as he/she was already working for the same employer in another immigration category(probably a dependent visa)

Hi mate I think your Tier 2 General application will need to be made in your home country https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/514054/Tier_2_Policy_Guidance_04_2016.pdf Read Note 1 under Point 15. It categorically says a switch is not possible. This means, your a...
