Tier2 ICT to Tier2 general

[shree102]

Hi ,
I came in UK in Oct 2015 on tier2 ICT (employer specific) short term 1 year visa and then from sept 2016 I am on ICT long term visa .
Now I m negotiating with some other company to transfer me from “tier2 ict to tier2 general with 120k gross salary” .
Can some one pls confirm if this clause -tier2 ict to tier2 general with 120k gross salary is valid and any other terms and condition is required to transfer from tier2 ict to tier2 general?


Thanks

Immigration rules part 6a, 245HB(g) (ii)

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... sed-system

(g) Except where the period of engagement recorded by the Certificate of Sponsorship used in support of such entry clearance or leave to remain was granted for a period of three months or less, the applicant must not have had entry clearance or leave to remain as a Tier 2 Migrant at any time during the 12 months immediately before the date of the application, unless the applicant:
(i) was not in the UK with leave as a Tier 2 Migrant during this period, and provides evidence to show this, or
(ii) will be paid a gross annual salary (as recorded by the Certificate of Sponsorship Checking Service entry, and including such allowances as are specified as acceptable for this purpose in paragraph 79 of Appendix A) of £159,600 per year or higher.

This I found under tier2 ict :
d) Except where the period of engagement recorded by the Certificate of Sponsorship used in support of such entry clearance or leave to remain was granted for a period of three months or less, the applicant must not have had entry clearance or leave to remain as a Tier 2 Migrant at any time during the 12 months immediately before the date of the application, unless paragraph (e) below applies.
(e) Paragraph (d) above does not apply to an applicant who:
(i) was not in the UK with leave as a Tier 2 migrant at any time during the above 12-month period, and provides evidence to show this,
(ii) is applying under the Long Term Staff sub-category and who has, or last had entry clearance or leave to remain as a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant in the Short Term staff, Graduate Trainee or Skills Transfer sub-categories, or
(iii) will be paid a gross annual salary (as recorded by the Certificate of Sponsorship Checking Service entry, and including such allowances as are specified as acceptable for this purpose in paragraph 75 of Appendix A) of £120,000 or higher.

Why are you looking at ICT rules when you want to apply for Tier 2 general??

You must read the tier 2 general rules if you want a tier 2 general visa!!!
