Thanks for your quick reply. My husband can switch tier 2 General from tier 2 ict established staff( visa start date 8th Apr 2011) in UK ? No need to go back India right?

And one more query I read before Apr 2011 visa only can switch tier 2 General but our application made after 20 March 2011 ,visa issued on 8th April 2011. Can u reclarify this ...


Thank you
