Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General for May'2011 entries

[yeshokiran]

Hi,
I've come to the UK in May'2011 on VISA TIER 2 ICT short term staff migrant and have left in the month Sept'2011. Then I've come back on VISA TIER 2 ICT long term staff migrant in Jan'2012 and continued to get in-country extensions and my VISA is valid until Aug'2015 now. The gap between short term and long term visa is 113 days i.e. 16/jan/2012-24/sep/2011.

Will I be eligible to switch from T2 ICT to T2G?

Thanks,
Yesho

No. Your visa does not allow a switch to T2 (G) within UK. If you are able to find a sponsor, you will have to apply from your home country after a cool-off of 12 months.
