UK Tier 2 ICT finishing 5 years - can there be an entry through Business VISA after 1-2 months

[suneelkv]

Hi All,

I've a question for you guys, I've been working in UK for last 5 years on a Tier 2 ICT visa (starting from Sept13 and finisihing in Sept18).
As the project is in critical phase my Client expecting me back to UK on a business VISA at least for 4-5 weeks in Nov18, is there a possibility I can re-enter to UK on a business VISA?

Given the VISA cooling period I should be there in India (home country) for 12 months cool off and then only apply for any VISA, this is the status I heard, correct me if my understanding is wrong ?

What are the other possibilities I got, through dependent is ruled out for me as she is a home maker.

so need ur suggestions. ?
I don't want to promise anything until I have a clear understanding on what can be done ?
