Tier2 General can they work and travel in cooling of period

[srling]

Hi All,

Need your help!!!

I had recently visited UK on a Tier2 ICT Short term visa and my wife has joined me as a dependent in UK and we stayed in UK for around 10 months and now I am back to my home country on 1st Sep 2015.

However just before returning we got an opporunity i.e. Tier2 General visa sponsorship for my wife. So now she has a Tier2 General visa and I will be travelling as a dependent on Tier2 General dependant visa in the month of Dec 2015.

However I am little concerned w.r.t the above scenario would like to understand the below two aspects.

1. As I was earlier on tier2 ict and now I m going back as tier2 general dependant immediately will cooling off period have any impact???

2.Also, I would like to know will there be any difficulties in getting job in UK on tier2 general dependant visa?

Thanks,
Sri

1. As I was earlier on tier2 ict and now I m going back as tier2 general dependant immediately will cooling off period have any impact??? - You will be going as PBS dependent and the cooling off period will have no impact on you. The cool off applies to your ability to re-apply a Tier 2 main yourself within 12 months of previous leave (subject to maximum leave conditions)

2.Also, I would like to know will there be any difficulties in getting job in UK on tier2 general dependant visa? - Finding a job depends on your skill set and job market situation. Dependents are allowed to work unrestricted (excluding Dentist or Doctor in training).

Thanks,
