I am on tier 2 ICT.I have got a new job and employer is ready to sponsor my wp.My last wp was renewed 12 april 2011.Can I stamp my new wp from UK or do I have to come back to home country for stamping.

Depends on the type of ICT you currently hold. You can apply from inside the UK if you hold the following categories:

Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer: Established Staff) if you are applying to change sponsor.

Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer), under the rules in place before 6 April 2010 if you are applying to change sponsor.

Please note that Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Long Term Staff granted leave, under the rules in place after 6 April 2011 cannot switch into Tier 2
(General)

If you can't switch inside the UK and need to apply from your home country, there is also the 12 month cooling off period to consider.

Does that mean that I have to wait for 12 months cooling off period??I have gone through the guidance.There is a rule of 6april 2011.But will it apply for me also as I have renewed my wp ON 13 APRIL 2011 .I am on ICT for last 8 years.My company is not ready to give ILR letter thats why dint get ILR.
Please advise as company is ready to give offer letter but I have to make sure if I can apply from within uk Or outside UK.
