Tier 2 ST ICT to Tier 2 General Dependent

Hi,

I am currently in cooling-off period and will be eligible to apply in Tier 2 (ST ICT) from 03-Sep-14. I intend to get married somewhere in late 2015 and my fiancee is currently working in the UK in Tier 2 General category.

I have the following questions -

1. If I apply for Tier 2 (ST ICT) in Sep-2014 and go to UK for a period of 1 year, will I be eligible to switch to Tier 2 (General) Dependent Visa on getting married BEFORE Sep-2015

2. If I apply for Tier 2 (ST ICT) in Sep-2014 and go to UK for a period of 1 year, will I be eligible to switch to Tier 2 (General) Dependent Visa on getting married AFTER Sep-2015 but serving the cooling-off period.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Amit.

Hi,

Can anyone please reply to my post.

AFAIK, you will need entry clearance i.e. you have to apply from your home country

Thanks a lot for your reply rajsin.

Yes, I would need to apply from my home country but would I be eligible to apply?? I just want to make sure that I'm eligible to switch.

But I think this post answers my questions.
