Thanks Greenie.
Can you clarify a couple of points that i have mentioned below, although i have read all that is to read in the ukba website, but i still need a second opinion -->
Firstly, my current status is, i entered UK in Oct 2007 on WP and then went onto switch to different TIER 2 categories as i got my visa extended and am currently in TIER 2 ICT (Long term leave to remain ) which will last me till Jan 2013 and I am eligible for ILR in Oct 2012. So my doubts are -->
1) Am i eligible to switch to TIER 2 General, within UK, if i wish to change the job, without impacting my ILR application in OCT 2012?
2) Do you reckon that in my current visa category, I would be thrown some new hurdles to apply for ILR in OCT 2012 after the April 2012 rules shake up?
Your response would be much appreciated and keenly read by a few others who are in the same boat as me ! :-0
