Thanks you very much Manci !

Thanks Manci, sorry for the piecmeal questions, but will I need a new resident labour market test for the new COS again. A resident labour market test, was done in July 2014 when I switched? Can you pls confirm? Thanks

Hi Mani, Many thanks for your reply and confirmation. Just one more clarification needed - Due to the limitation of the previous rule,I was granted leave only till 1 May 2016, and not July 2016, which mean that when I apply for extension of 3 years, before May 2016, I will get leave upto May 2019, a...

Hello,

I have one more question. My Wife and son are my dependents under my current Tier 2 Visa. Would they be eligible for ILR after 10 years alongiwith me ?

Thanks a lot for your prompt responses.
If there is any other lawful way to gain ILR, pls let me know,
Else I guess I have no other option.

Sorry for the piecemeal questions, But could you let me know for how long will I be able to extend and what are the relevant conditions ? Is there a cap on the maximum time which I can stay in the UK. I have some knowledge that we can also apply for ILR After 10 years ? Is this still valid and is it...

Ok. Thanks. My visa says its ICT long term staff rather than
Established staff, is that the same ?

Also, would I be eligible to extend the ICT post
May 2015, after I complete 5 years.

Regards
Yusuf.

Hi yes, I am T2 - ICT Long term staff. My COS aasignment date is 13 April 2010, but the process by the employer was commenced in Mar 2010. I beleive I applied for my visa sometime in April 2010 (definitely after 6 April 2010) and got it in May 2010. I also got a 3 year extension of my Visa in May 20...
