Thanks Manci. So does that mean all doors are closed on me as my Tier 2 ICT migrant visa has missed the 6th April 2010 cut-off just by 10 days? I simply don't see my current sponsor continuing to sponsor me for 10 continuous years i.e. 5 more years. It is unfortunate that you missed the deadline by ...

Hi Manci, Thank you for you response. Actually, how do I find the date of my application in 2010. i.e. it was through my employer so payment would also have been done through them.
