Tier 2 (ICT) Extension & ILR Eligibility

[subodh4341]

Hi All,

Guys need your valuable inputs in resolving my 4 queries here :
VISA - Tier 2 (ICT)

Issued On - 02/11/2009
UK Arrival Date - 29/11/2009
Visa Expiry Date - 29/11/2012

In Dec ,2012 , I have got Visa Extension in the same category Tier 2 (ICT)

Visa Expiry date - 30/10/2014


1) When will I be eligible for ILR ??
2) As per new rule issued this month (limiting Tier 2 VISA to 5 yrs only) , Am I eligible to get any further extension ??? ( I mean beyond 5 yrs)
3) If I am not eligible for further extension , Can I change my VISA to Tier 2 (General) to stay in UK ???
4) And If I change my VISA to T2 General, For how long I have to work for employer to become eligible for ILR ??


Thanks & Regards
Subodh

Ilr after 4/10/14
If you choose to change to T2G you can apply for ilr after atleast receiving one months payslip from your employer.

Thanks Apam for the reply.

Yes , 04/10/2014 is 28 days prior to my VISA Issue Date (02/11/2009 + 5 years) but my UK arrival date is 29/11/2009.
Few of my friends say that I will be eligible only after 01/11/2014. But unfortunately my VISA Expires 2 days earlier i.e.on 30/10/2014 .
That's why I want to go for another ICT Extension.

Could you please help me in clear all my doubts.

Cheers
Subodh

as Apam said, you can apply from 4/10/14.
it is based on Entry clearance date ,not the UK arrival date if it is less than 90 days.
refer to p22. for more details
