Tier 2 Visa approval chances for Tier 1 holder

[madi786]

Hi,

I have tier 1 visa valid till oct 2012 but didnt travel to UK. Now my employer is ready to sponsor me for tier 2 visa since they will not accept travel on tier 1 and work for the same company at onsite. So... if i apply the tier 2 visa now...what are the chances of getting my application approved since i hold tier 1 as well?
If yes, will they cancel my Tier 1 visa?
Can any one help on this query...

Your existing Tier 1 (General) leave has no bearing on the success / failure of a new Tier 2 application.

If Tier 2 leave is approved, your Tier 1 (General) will automatically become invalid.

Thank you so much for the answer.
I have another query regarding my Tier 2 application.
I have applied tier 1 with my masters degree and got the application approved. I have lost my master degree docs recently and have applied for new docs and it will take 2 - 3 months to get all my master degree docs.
Currently I have my B.Sc docs with me... So can i apply the tier 2 visa with B.Sc docs? I am getting enough points even if i apply with B.Sc for Tier 2 application.
Will I have any problem in getting the Tier 2 visa... since i have applied the Tier 1 with Masters degree and Tier 2 i am going to apply with B.Sc.
Can any one help me on this query... Its very urgent since i have to travel immediately for the onsite assignment.

Your Tier 1 application or the documents you provided in support of that application has no bearing on any new entry clearance application (if applying from outside UK) or any switching application (if applying from outside the UK).
