transfer of Tier2 General before reaching UK

[SProgrammer]

Hi,

I got a Tier2 general visa approved with start date in November. my current employer offered me ICT which I was not very happy with and have now agreed for Tier2 General.So if I chose to go ahead with my current employer what will happen to my existing tier2 visa? will my existing approved tier 2 visa get cancelled only once the current employer visa is approved ?

Please let know. this is very urgent!!

Thanks

A new visa (once granted) will invalidate and supersede any other visas you might currently hold. Not quite sure if you currently hold any visa...

Thank you Pysicskate . My visa was just granted last month and valid from November 2015 and I am planning to enter UK first time by then. (so have not yet entered UK ) So from your response, does it mean that if I apply for Tier2 general visa again , but this time with COS number from my current employer, and for some reason Tier 2 is not granted using this COS, I still will be able to go to UK based on the approved Tier2 general visa of the new company? Also will current company have use restricted or unrestricted COS? I am currently outside UK and have never entered UK so far.
