Tx for the reply Saherit.

Yes , I can apply under NOC 0213 as I have more than 2 years managerial exp in IT. However,currently in London, I am not employed.My question is, Can I apply now? even though I am not employed at present. Is there any criteria in the guidelines that the Primary applicant should be employed while applying?

Pls suggest
