Re: Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General

Maybe the tool is not updated. Thanks a lot Moonlight. Can anyone help me out of the following situation. Even if I got my initial Tier-2 ICT visa before April 2011 (Dec-2010), my first entry to UK was on May 2011. Will that be okay when I am switching to Tier-2 general, or is there any chance UKVI...

Thanks moonlight55, yeah current status is LT Staff. My doubt is why the list of option still maintains 'Established Staff' category as all those people might have changed to LT Staff category by now. Is that correct?

Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General

Hi All, Excuse me if this question seems silly. I searched a lot and can't find any relevant answer to this. While applying for switching to Tier 2 General, there is a section to select the 'Current Visa Status', and the question is 'What type of visa or leave to remain do you have?' My ICT visa was...

Re: Cancellation of CoS in Tier 2 ICT

As his initial visa was as T2 ICT Established Staff he is eligible to switch to T2G in the UK. Unless he is a high earner if he leaves the UK he can only apply for entry clearance after a one year cooling-off period. Depending on when the new sponsor wants to employ him from it would be best to neg...

Re: Cancellation of CoS in Tier 2 ICT

He shouldn't have resigned before having a CoS from the new sponsor. Did he not have to complete a notice period in his present job? Was he perhaps summarily dismissed? If so, why? All his present sponsor can do is to inform the HO that his employment ended, they have no other powers as far as his ...

Re: Cancellation of CoS in Tier 2 ICT

he doesnt have to leave uk.. the company is not the one to tell who should leave or not. His visa will be curtailed to a certain date.. normally 60 days after his employment ends, and that is when he has to leave. However, u need to check if he can switch to tier 2 or not.. that might be critical. ...

Re: Switching employer in Tier-2 General

Hello Frontier,

Thanks a lot for that information. I already got Tier-2 visa in my hand with first employer, but still working in notice period for my previous/current employer.

If I am switching, I don't have to pay the NHS contribution again right?

Thanks
Lotus

Now I got another better offer from an employer within UK and they do sponsor Tier-2 General. My question is, is it possible to switch within Tier-2 general even before joi...
