ILR Permanent residency after 5 years

Post by ma593 » Thu Jul 17, 2014 4:47 pm

Hello,

I come to know from some of my friends that the rules for ILR has been changed recently. According to new rule, if you are applying for Tier 2 sponsorship visa from Employer, your salary must be minimum 35K in order to apply for ILR after 5 years. I am wondering whether can i get any reference to prove this statement?

Here is the google search I got it from. It is the top link. These changes have been adopted, but this statement is from 2012.

As you didn't have tier 2 leave in ICT category before 6th April 2010, you're NOT eligible to apply for ILR. The only option will be to move into Tier 2 general visa, after spending 12 months cooling-off period in your home country. After you spend 5 years in the UK with Tier 2 general visa, you'll become eligible for ILR, if the UKBA (home office) rules remains the same as it's now.
