Tier2 ICT(ES) to Tier2 General or ICT(New Sponsor),ILR Query

[dawoodm]

Dear Members, I would be grateful if you can clarify my below queries.

I have been in UK between Feb 5th 2011 and 3rd June 2012, 1st Sep 2012 till now in Tier-2 ICT Establish Staff. (89 days continuous period out of UK)

1. While applying ILR in future, does a continuous salary should be show in P60 for a financial year if you're in Tier 2 ICT Establish Staff visa? More information below for your reference.

a. Feb 5th 2011 to 3rd June 2012 - I have been paid salary and P60 is available for the same.

b. 1st Sep 2012 to 29 Nov 2012 - I have not been paid salary but it is paid as allowance (I was in short term assignment) through company bank account (i.e., this amount will not appear in my P60 for tax calculation).

c. 30 Nov 2012 till now (assignment converted to long term assignment) - I have been paid salary in my account and hope it will appear in P60.

2. I have got a new sponsor now, and I am aware that I will be eligible if I get the new sponsored visa as Tier 2 General but will I be eligible if the new sponsored visa is also a Tier 2 ICT Long term (As I understand, now new ICT is provided as Long Term visa) ?

3. Do I need to take care of anything else while I change my sponsor to get the ILR without any problem in future?

You're help in this regards is much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

Dear Members, I have got clarification from other posts and also by referring UKBA site. I have corrected and updated my queries, I would be grateful if someone could please provide clarification?

1. While applying ILR in future, does a continuous salary/minimum salary should be show in P60 for a financial year if you're in Tier 2 ICT Establish Staff visa?

More information below for your reference.

a. Feb 5th 2011 to 3rd June 2012 - I have been paid salary and P60 is available for the same.

b. 4th June 2012 to 30 Aug 2012 - Working from India

c. 1st Sep 2012 to 29 Nov 2012 - I have not been paid salary in UK but it is paid as allowance (I was in short term assignment) and it will not appear in my bank account too (i.e., this amount will not appear in my P60 for tax calculation).

d. 30 Nov 2012 till now (assignment converted to long term assignment) - I have been paid salary in my account and it will appear in P60.

2. If I am going to get a new sponsor, will I be eligible for ILR if the new sponsored visa is a Tier 2 ICT Long term and will my days from Feb 5 2011 will be counted in ILR calculation?

I understand that I will be eligible for ILR after completing 5 yrs in new visa if I get the new sponsored visa as Tier 2 General. Time will be calculated from T2G conversion. Please correct me if I am wrong.

3. Do I need to take care of anything else while I change my sponsor to get the ILR without any problem in future?
