Switching from Tier2 ICT dependent to Tier2 General withinUK

Post by Thanksgiving » Fri Jun 22, 2012 8:29 pm

My wife is under Tier 2 ICT dependent visa
She has now completed her Post Graduation from a reputed University in the UK and now has a job offer.
Is she eligible to switch to Tier 2 general from within UK.

I see that TIER 4 students with a job offer can switch into Tier 2 general from within UK where the CoS can be issued by the employer without the Resident Labour Market test.

My wife is a student with Tier 2 ICT dependent visa.
does that mean she is eligible to switch from within UK?

thanks for the quick response.

can the employer issue tier 2 general CoS without performing resident market labour test as like for TIER 4 holders?

Reading the Tier 2 policy guidance will help.
