Now my company has applied for Tier 2 General so could any one guide me that will this take less time since they have already gone through all the check during Tier 2 ICT.

Any help will be appreciated .

There is no problem ...Even if it takes 10 years you'll be alright.
You are allowed to work full-time so what else you wnt (only problem is that you can't travel)

Apply in person is recommended.

For a programmer its £ 26K . 37.5 hours / week.


They even refuse if your salary is short by one penny
