Allowed to apply tier 2 general with a new employer?

Post by Agastya80 » Sun Feb 03, 2013 7:27 pm

Dear All
I am currently on tier2ict since may2009 with my employer working on a different client site on timed basis contract. I am aware of the rule where one can't switch from tier2ict to tier 2 general with the same employer.
I wanted to know if there is any restriction if i apply to switch to tier 2 general with the client i am working with?
Experts, please could you guide me?
Much appreciate your time.
Thanks!

Hi All

There is so much to understand and apply with regard to immigration rules and after reading the rules quite a few times, I've managed to confused myself big time......my query is related to immigration rule 245HD c (iii)


(c) An applicant who has, or was last granted leave as a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant must:
(i) have previously had leave as a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant under the Rules in place before 6 April 2010, or in the Established Staff sub-category under the Rules in place before 6 April 2011,
(ii) not have been granted entry clearance in this or any other route since the grant of leave referred to in (i) above; and
(iii) not be applying to work for the same Sponsor as sponsored him when he was last granted leave.


My case is, I've been working with my Sponsor (company A) under Tier 2 ICT for one of their Client (company B). In my previous applications my COS always had the information that my work address will be that of the Client company B's address with their name in address field but my Sponsor was always Company A.
- Now, I am applying for a Tier 2 general switch application with company B (Client) as my employer, Client Company B have agreed to sponsor me under Tier 2 General.
- I've already got the COS allocated by the Company B and I've now started looking for a PEO appointment.

But I am in a big confusion whether 245HD c (iii) rule will be applicable here or not, will my application be rejected on the basis that my prospective employer's name and address was mentioned in my previous COSs although they were never my sponsor's?

Senior Members/Fellow Members/Experts - Please could you help clear my doubt regarding my application?

Thanks for your time guys. :?
Thanks!
