Can I switch from dependent visa to Tier 2 general category?

Post by VGarg » Tue Oct 16, 2012 1:59 pm

Hi,
I am currently working in UK under a dependent visa. My employer has offered me a sponsorship. Currently my visa category is ICT SHORT TERM STAFF PARTNER.. I have the following questions:
1. Can I switch from dependent visa to Tier 2 General without a cooling off period?
2. My husband currently holds a Tier 2 ICT Short term visa which expires in Nov first week. Can he apply with me as my dependent in the Dependent visa category without a cooling off period? Also, can he switch from ICT Short term visa category to a dependent visa category?

Thanks,
Kind Regards,
Vidhi
