Am i correct in understanding that main applicant cannot switch from tier2 ict to tier2 general from home country within the duration of visa/before visa gets expired?YMalhotra wrote:Thanks for the quick reply.
can you please provide the confirmation on point#3 - "Can I (on Tier2 ICT ST Migrant, main applicant) switch to Tier2 General from home country 1. before my visa gets expired (i.e. 22-Sep-15) or 2. after my visa gets expired without serving cooling off 1yr."
Regards,

Thanks iWorker!! But my question was whether I as Tier2 ICT main applicant switch to Tier2 General main applicant before my visa expiry?iworker wrote:you can switch to dependent at any time, and from within uk as well. if u wish to apply from home country, u can do that as well.
since it will be dependent visa, u will not have to serve cooling off.
Thanks for your reply!!vinny wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 1:05 am1. You cannot become a ILR Dependant prior to you wife having ILR.
2. Depends on your wife’s status.
3. Incorrect.
4. You have to reside at least 5 years as a PBS Dependant or at least 5 years as a ILR Dependant before being eligible for ILR.
Why haven’t you switched to PBS Dependant as soon as your wife was granted Leave under Tier 2 (General)?
1. If I become PBS dependant now and my wife becomes ILR in Dec,2020, then would I be able to spend PBS dependant for 5 years or is it compulsory to switch to ILR Dependant once my wife becomes ILR.
Yes.2. Will switching from PBS Dependant to ILR Dependant resets the counter.
Continue on PBS Dependent visa for 5 years till you qualify for ILR.3. Is there any way you can suggest that if i switch to dependant now, what should i do to get ILR in next 5 years.
