Post by muchoo » Wed Dec 26, 2012 10:30 am

I have granted Tier2 Short Term Visa on 30th June 2011, i returned back to india on 27th June 2012 as my Visa expeired.
Ideally i am on cooling off period but there is a need for me to travel back to UK for some other customer but with the same employer.

Can I apply for ICT Tier 2 Long term or any other type of visa.

can you please give me the reference in UKBA website.

I tried to browse through the site but could not get the clear answere anywhere.


Thanks

the cooling off period applies if you want to apply in the T2 ICT Short Term Staff category. See para 26 of the T2 policy guidance

Can I apply for ICT Tier 2 Long term or any other type of visa.
you can apply in the T2 ICT Long Term Staff category without cooling-off but note that your salary has to be £40k or the appropriate min. salary for the job SOC code, whichever the higher

what are the condition applied in any case
can you please give me the reference in UKBA website.

read para 22 onwards in the T2 policy guidance:

Tier 2 ICT short term starff migrant

Post by lokissinice » Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:31 am

Hi,

I came to UK with Tier 2 ICT short term starff migrant which was issued on Jan 2012. My Visa expires this month Jan 2013 and I would like to know if there is any cooling period to switch to Long term visa from short term ICT? If there is any how long is the cooling off period?

Please let me know these details asap as I need to plan accordingly

I tried searching for this in UK home office website couldn't get any.



Thanks in advance
Loki

you have to leave the UK when your T2 ICT Short Term Staff visa expires but you can apply from abroad for entry clearance in the T2 ICT Long Term Staff category without any cooling-off provided you have a new CoS and satisfy the requirements for the Long Term Staff category.

In-country switching would not be possible.
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... igibility/

You would be subject to a 12 month cooling off period. So, you would have to be outside the UK for 12 months before applying for a T2G.

Point 25 in the Tier 2 guidance:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf
a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) applicant in the Short Term Staff or Graduate Trainee sub-categories will be granted leave for no longer than 12 months; at which point you must leave the UK and you will not be able to re-apply for further leave under an Intra-Company Transfer category (other than in the Long Term Staff sub-category or if you will be paid an annual gross salary of £152,100 or higher) until 12 months after your last leave as an Intra-Company Transfer expired or 12 months after you left the UK, whichever is sooner.

Thank you very much for your reply, Could you please clarify one more doubt that I have. the point 25 says " you will not be able to re-apply for further leave under any INTRA-COMPANY TRANSFER", it did not mention Tier 2 General.
point no 15 SWITCHING, at the end there exists 3 conditions or sub points in that "I. please note that Tier 2 (Intra-company transfer) long term staff granted entry clearance under the rule in place after 6 April 2011 cannot switch to Tier 2 (General)". it clearly mentioned for long term and no where mentioned for short term.

Can we think of any possibility, please advice.

I suspect you are reading into it what you want to read into it... T2 ICT short term is not in the 'switching' list. This means you would have to apply for entry clearance, ergo you are subject to a cooling off period.

Thank you very much, sorry I was not able to get any thing from point 520, 521 and they are not in page 91, might be because of older version. I am looking into new very which 04/13.
Highlighting thing is, I got some points form the same document, i.e. point no 570-576 which gives clear explaination of cooling period. it is not applicable if we want to apply inside UK before expiry.
Thank you very much for the link.

Manci and I have quoted guidance that says you are only eligible to switch after a 12 month cooling off period. You are choosing to ignore this. Apply. It will be rejected.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf
This guidance is to
be used for all Tier 2
and Tier 5 applications
made on or after
06 April 2013

359.
A migrant can have leave granted for a maximum of 12 calendar months under this sub-
category. This means that if the initial grant of leave is for less than that, they can extend it up
to a maximum of 12 calendar months if necessary.
360.
Where a migrant leaves the UK after a period of leave under the Short
Term staff sub-
category but you want them to return to the UK at some point in the future, they may be
affected by the Tier 2 cooling-off period if they wish to return under any Tier 2 category other
than ICT – Long Term staff. More information about the cooling-off period is in paragraphs
570-576

This means you can stay in the UK for up to 12 months. I have already showed you where it says you are not eligible to switch to Tier 2 in county. This means you would need to apply for entry clearance. That means you are subject to the cooling off period.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf
You can apply from inside the UK if you have, or were last granted, leave in one of the
categories listed in the table below:

Any Tier 1 category;

Tier 2 (General);

Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer: Established Staff) if you
are applying to change sponsor
1
;

Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer), under the rules in place
before 6 April 2010 if you are applying to change sponsor

3
;

Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) in the Creative and Sporting
sub-category, for a job as a professional footballer

First sorry, If offended your point.... like everyone myself just searching for a small hope... thats all... Actual fact is... I have two offers, one new offer from new sponcer with 40.6K and second one is my existing employer (UK branch) is ready to sponcer (for different project/claint) if things are possible for tier 2 gen. it is very rare oppurtunity for me...., 40.6 K so trying my best possible way... hope you understand. please consider this as discussion...

In Sponcer guidelines for tier 2/5 (05/04/2013)
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

"
The Tier 2 Cooling Off Period
570. The cooling off period does not apply to migrants who are in the UK under Tier 2 and are applying for an extension of their existing leave or making a change of employment application.
571. The cooling off period will apply where:
a) the migrant is overseas and their previous grant of Tier 2 leave has expired or lapsed; or
b) the migrant is in the UK and had a previous period of Tier 2 leave, but then switched into a different immigration category and now wishes to apply again under Tier 2.
572. The Tier 2 cooling off period starts from the day after the migrant’s previous leave under Tier 2 ended. If their leave has expired or lapsed, this will be the date that their leave expired or lapsed.
575. There are a limited number of circumstances in which the cooling off period does not apply. They are:
a) where the migrant is in the UK and is applying for an extension to their existing leave;
b) where the migrant is in the UK and is making a change of employment application;
once again many thanks for your kind advices....

As you are at present in the UK as T2 ICT Short Term Staff the options are:

1. for staying with your current sponsor/employer: leave the UK and apply for entry clearance in the T2 ICT Long Term Staff category - there is no cooling off but you would need a CoS with a min salary of £40.6k or what is the minimum for the SOC code if that is higher.

2. The new job with the new sponsor would unfortunately mean leaving the UK and waiting for 12 months before being able to apply in the T2G category

Thank you for your kind guidance.
Looks like Tier 2 ICT LONG TERM is the only open available as of now.
Just for reconfirmation, I have to leave UK and reenter with New Visa (new SOC code/ CoS with min salary of £40.6k). means cannot change my visa in UK what ever it is. Am I right?

Once again thank you so all for a great help..

para 575 d of sponsor quidance

Post by norty109 » Sat May 25, 2013 1:15 pm

Para 575 D says that Cooling off doesn't apply for ICT before 6 April 2011, Skills transfer, Graduate trainee and short term staff? This is creating confusion as according to this Out of country application under Tier 2 General should be valid if previous employment was under short term staff or ICT Migrant visa before 6/4/11?
