Dear Sir,

Thank you for your question.

Your wife will be able to switch from her Tier 2 ICT visa to Tier 2 General visa providing she leaves the UK and makes an entry clearance application. She will be able to apply for the Tier 2 General visa straight away as long as the prospective employer has a Sponsor Licence and goes through the relevant procedures to hire her.
