Five years from switching to Tier 2 General (looks like July 2018). Time spent on ICT after 6 April 2010 does not lead to ILR.hnihalan wrote:Hi,

Below is my immigration history. I will finish 5 years of continuous stay in UK on 25-04-2016/08-May-2016. Please let me know if I am eligible for ILR. Or is it advisable to switch to T1 (Entrepreneurship) and apply for ILR in Apr-2018.

What you have quoted is correct.hnihalan wrote:I am afraid I m getting mixed responses. A solictor I spoke to advised that I will be eligible in 2016
Apparantly, The 5 years can include time in the UK on a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) visa if one of the following applies:
•the continuous residence includes a period of leave granted under the Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) rules in place before 6 April 2010
•the continuous residence includes time where you had a work permit granted because you were the subject of an Intra-Company Transfer.
I am not clear about the second point.
Thanks for the clarification.physicskate wrote: What you have quoted is correct.
You, however, have not said you had continuous residence under a Tier 2 ICT before April 2010. Also a WORK PERMIT is not the same as Tier 2 ICT but refers to a category of visa made redundant after the introduction of the PBS system.
