Switching to Tier 2 (General) from Tier 2 (ICT) on Job Loss

[cfc_2015]

Dear experts,

I had a question about what happens if someone loses their job while on Tier 2 (ICT) issued post April 2011. Some people tell me that is is possible to switch to Tier 2 (General) for the remainder of the Leave to remain provided you find another sponsor. I have never seen such a clause in the UK Gov website.

Thanks

in your situation unfortunately it is not possible to switch to T2G

Manci,

I have been advised by solicitors that if my partner can get Tier 2 (General) visa from current employers then I can become the dependant. Is that perfectly legal?

Thanks

yes, if you are a family member of your partner
