Employer help - adding ICT license to existing Tier 2

[rjg29]

Good morning,

I was wondering if any employers could help me that may have faced the same situation.
We currently hold a Tier 2 General license, granted some years back. We would like to add a Tier 2 ICT license for our company.
We have all the relevant documents ready, and know we have to apply online as well as send the documents by post.

I have 2 main questions:
- Do we need to do a cover letter or explanation of the link between the companies either as part of the online application, or as part of the postal documents?
- Can we still use our normal Tier 2 Gen license as normal whilst we apply for the ICT license? As we need to allocated a uCoS for an extension of visa in the next few weeks.

Any feedback or tips would be greatly received! Thanks.
