Immigration – Tier 2 Sponsor License Suspension

We acted for a client whose sponsor license was suspended by the Home Office.

A compliance officer visited our client’s place of business to assess their suitability and interviewed one of our client’s employees and concluded that our client was not complying with its duties to ensure that their employees perform their assigned duties as per their Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). This was the main ground alleged which resulted in our client’s sponsor license being suspended with the reason cited failure to comply with the sponsor duties.

We made detailed representations with proper documentation to the Home Office against the suspension decision. We argued that the Home Office failed to acknowledge all the information that was provided to them when the compliance check took place. We argued that the migrant worker did perform the duties assigned and listed on the certificate of the sponsorship and provided detailed relevant examples to prove this. We managed to convince the Home Office that the vacancy was genuine. We submitted extensive evidence of documents to prove that the role in question had been performed at the company. Our representations were considered and the sponsor license was reinstated with immediate effect.
