Hi,

I have a dependent visa for my wife who has a Tier 2 ICT visa until Nov end(for 1 year from nov 2011).
I recently got a job offer from a UK company.I visited UK for a month during this period.
I learnt that I cannot switch from dependent to Tier 2 general being in UK.
I have to apply for Tier 2 general from my home country.
My question is "Does the cooling off period applies to my issue that is Can I apply for Tier 2 general having a Tier 2 dependent visa"?
Please help me..
