Guy, I came in UK by Mar 2009 ICT and the visa was valid till Mar 2012 and I applied for the extension and I received the extension till Dec 2013.
I got a new sponsor in May so I applied for Tier 2 general and now the refusal letter states that I dont fall under the rule before 2009 or 2010 and they have not given right to appeal.
I'm bit worried . Please advise

I am also in a similar situation, looking to apply for a tier 2 general from tier 2 ICT. Did you got any clarity on the refusal?

Crazy guys what they are considering is the last grant . I had my extension to the visa on Feb 2102 and they are saying as part of ur extension that is your last grant leave does not fall under rules before April 2010
I dont understand. I need to present to judicial review

Hi
This is absurd
The Gurus in the forums had mentioned all that mattered was the initial grant you had obtained and not the last grant.
I too fall under the same category. Obtained a Tier 2 - Established staff visa and later extended in Oct 2011 to Tier 2 ICT long Term. Looks like I too cannot switch to Tier 2 General.
Gurus, can you please clarify?

Have a careful look at Immigration Rule 245HD (b) and (c) to see what could have been the reason for the refusal.

It wasn't a good idea to leave your previous employment before getting an approval letter for your new application.

Last grant leave Should be taken as initial grant not the
Extension made on initial applicatiin.
It looks a technical and logical error. Guys, sugfest what i can do now

No harm calling them If there was a genuine reson for the refusal they'll tell you, if not and they made a mistake they'll withdraw the decision.

write, email and fax the caseworker.
The fax number should be on the refusal letter.
The email address is

Looks, judicial review is the only solution. I'm going for it . I just want to know whether these things will have any impact on my current leave which i have till Dec 2013 ?

Hi shanawaz77,
I am in the same situation as yours but would like to know if we can extend our VISA again beyond 2013 Dec under Long term staff category.(not worried abt ILR though).Original grant was during Nov 2008 and the last extension was on Oct 2011.
Thanks,
Athvi.
