I have been granted UK ILR today successfully at Croydon, London.
I am sharing my experience so that it might clarify queries for others.
I got my UK Tier-2 workpermit valid from 18 Dec 2008 but I landed in UK only on 9 Feb 2009. I renewed it by Dec 2010 for 2 years and moved to Tier-2 ICT Established staff. Later I renewed it again by Jan 2013 and moved to Tier-2 ICT Long term staff.
I APPLIED UNDER TIER-2 WORK PERMIT CATEGORY.
