Can apply Tier-2 Gen visa with T2 ICT with vignette expired?

[SG1324]

Hello Experts,

Firstly, I would like to thank for your time answering the queries.

I am currently working in company A in India. This company issued COS (Certificate of Sponsorship) for Tier-2 ICT visa for 2 years period (in Apr 2017). Visa applied but due to some reasons can not travel to Uk. Visa Expired on 27th May 2017. I have not yet resigned from company A.
Now I have offer from a UK based company (say company B) which is planning to apply COS for Tier 2 General.
My queries are,
1. Can I have 2 active COS?
2. Does second COS overrides first COS or First COS need to be withdrawn by company A.
3. If company A not ready to withdraw COS what are the options to get it done.
4. If second COS (by company B) is applied does first company (company A) will be intimated by UKBA

Thanks in Advance

First COS is already used so not active any longer as your visa has been issued already.

Hello Experts,
I have Tier 2 ICT (3 years visa) applied in April'17 from home country (India). I received visa but unfortunately could not travel to UK. My vignette expired in May'17.
My query is, in this condition can I apply for Tier-2 General 5 year visa (with different employer from UK)

Thanks in advance.

Since you did not travel, IMO cool-off will not apply. You should be able to apply for a T2 (G) visa.
