Changing SOC code under same visa

[syesild]

Hi,

I have Tier 2 ICT visa for 5 years (29.08.2015 - 05.09.2020) and I'm already here in UK since 3 years 3 months. The company where I'm working for and myself decided to change my position (step up) to get more flexibility in work. My current SoC code is 2136 (software developer). New one would be either 2134 or 2424 (Project Manager).
My questions are;
1 - Can this SoC code be change under my same visa?
2 - Would this affect my ILR application in the end of 5th years?
3 - If HO refuse this application, would this affect my actual code and actual visa duration?
4 - When my company applied for my visa min. annual salary was 41K where they agreed on this. Is this increased now or still same?
5 - What would be your advice that we need to be careful when we want to start on this process?

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards!

Tier 2 ICT does NOT lead to ILR.

You are not reading it properly.

If you got your tier ICT visa AFTER 6th April 2010 then you cannot apply for ILR based on 5 years residence.

Only ICT visas issued before 6th April 2010 qualify for ILR.
