Switching from TIER 2 ICT Dep

[sup11]

Hi ,
I am an Indian citizen currently on an tier 2 - ICT (spouse/dependent) visa working in UK. Since my husband's visa is due to expire I wanted to know whether
*I can switch to a tier 2 - general visa from the UK itself ?
If I need to leave the UK to apply, do I need to submit my application from India itself or any where else is fine

* Is the cooling off period applicable to me ?
Please let me know

Thanks!

I have split your post to its own topic as it is considered rude to tag questions onto other members threads.

*I can switch to a tier 2 - general visa from the UK itself ?

Yes, but you have to apply from home country and the full and proper RLMT process has to be completed by your sponsor.

* Is the cooling off period applicable to me ?

No, not if you are on a dependent visa.

Thank you, I am not that familiar using the forum and never intended to tag onto another person's post. I felt that since my situation is a bit similar I could add my query to the existing set. Appreciate your quick response
