Converting from ICT short term dependent to Tier 2 general

[jingaboys]

My wife is on a Tier 2 ICT short term dependent visa in UK and I am on a dependent visa. Our visa is valid until April 2014. I am searching for a job here and found a company who is willing to sponsor my tier 2 general visa. Below is my plan.
1) I join the company in UK, and start working right away. The company will start the process for a issuing a COS to me. They already have the required license for that.
2) They say they will be able to provide the COS to me within 2-3 months. Once I get that me and my wife will fly to my home country and apply for Tier 2 general visa for me with my wife as a dependent.

Please let me know if this is possible and we can avoid the cooling off period in this way.
My wife's project may get over in December 2013, though our visa is valid until April 2014. Will this have any effect on my eligibility to work until April 2014?

Thanks in advance.
