Switching - ICT Tier 2 Long Term to Tier 4 dependent

[bsharma05]

Hi,

Need your help and suggestion !!!

I am in UK on ICT Tier 2 Long Term Staff migrant, which is valid till 30th Feb'2015. My current assignment is getting over so my employer is pushing me to go back to India but I would like to continue in UK with other employer. At present my wife is in India, I am exploring few options like If I will call her in UK on student (Tier 4) visa for master's course which duration is more than 12 months or above 24 months, in that case I need few clarification.

1) Can I transfer my visa status from ICT Tier 2 Long Term - Main Applicant to Tier 4 dependent ?

2) Do I need to go back to India for entry clearance to transfer visa status from ICT Tier 2 to Tier 4 dependent ?

3) Do I need to serve 12 months cooling off period to transfer the my visa status from ICT Tier 2 Long Term to Tier 4 dependent ?

4) Any complexity or restriction in getting transferred the my visa status from ICT Tier 2 Long Term to Tier 4 dependent inside the UK ?

5) Going forward in future if want to transfer my visa status from Tier 4 dependent to Tier 2 general inside the UK , will it be any issue ? do I need to serve 12 cooling period as my prior visa status was ICT Tier 2 Long Term ?

It would be great if you can help me on above queries.

Thanks in advance.
