Is it possible to switch from Tier 2 Intra Company Transfer to Tier 1 General after the new regulations from Apr 6th 2011?

This category is now closed to applicants who are outside the UK, and to migrants who are already here in most other immigration categories.

You can apply to extend your stay in the UK under Tier 1 (General) if you are already in the UK with permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain') in one of the following immigration categories:

highly skilled migrant
writer, composer or artist
self-employed lawyer
Tier 1 (General)
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP), if you are eligible to switch into Tier 1 (General).

If you are not in one of the categories above, you cannot apply to Tier 1 (General).

I am currently in UK and under Tier 2 Intra Company Transfer category. Can I switch over to Tier 1 General?

What is the difference b/w highly skilled migrant and HSMP?
