Switching Employer on Tier 2 ICT Long Term

Post by Malar K » Wed Dec 20, 2017 10:15 am

Hi,

I am looking for some expert advice on my visa situation.

I am currently working in UK with Company A on a Tier 2 ICT Long Term Visa, visa was issued on Aug 2016 and valid until Aug 2019. I have job offer from UK Company B. I have the below Queries

1. Can I switch from Tier 2 ICT Company A to Tier 2 ICT Company B
2. Is there any alternative without returning to India and serving cool off period as my child is studying here ?

Thanks,
Malar K

Do you mean Tier 2 General??
2. Is there any alternative without returning to India and serving cool off period as my child is studying here ?
Can your dependent spouse not qualify for their own Tier 2 General or Tier 4 and you change to dependent status for 12 months???

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.

Is it possible to switch Tier 2 ICT from Company A to Tier 2 ICT Company B or Tier 2 General without serving cool off as my child is studying here.

My wife is on dependent visa and I am looking on an alternative option to switch from Company A to Company B without cool off.

Please suggest the best option.

Regards,
Malar K

No. What is your SOC and current salary?
