sreed_iyer, I think your apprehension has taken over you. The guidelines are very clear on this. From 1 April 2010, any person coming on Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) will:sreed_iyer wrote:No i think any body in tier2 (old wp) would not be eligible for PR.
Intracompany transfer they mean is that people can brought on board after 12 months.
can you clarify, was he deputed to India, or was he deputed to UK from India. your above statement is confusing.sreed_iyer wrote:Just to add he was deputed abroad from his indian company here in uk on WP.
this seems like a reasonable assumption, but lets wait until home office has published more details/guidance and any transitional arrangements.sherkhan297 wrote:Hi hsmp2tier1,

From 1 April 2010, any person coming on Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) will:
1. have to have worked for the company for atleast 12 months and
2. this visa category won't lead to settlement.
on the home office website, it had said 'early next year', are we certain the changes are from April.. just wanted to confirm
sreed_iyer - I would think as long as the visa is the old format (WP) and not tier 2 ICT which came into effect from Nov 27 2008, the time spent on WP should qualify for ILR.
If your friend has the old format WP valid till 2011 then it might be ok.
But If your friend renews his visa now and he will surely get tier 2 ICT instead of WP, then the total time till 2011 will not be counted... this is my interpretation of the law and a few others as well.. we will have to wait and see when the details are published on this..
