You can count on the fact that one day you will be inspected and audited by UK Visas and Immigration. If you hold a valid sponsor license, they will periodically check up to make sure the information provided on your sponsor application matches with what is going on in reality. Normally, this is a straightforward process. However occasionally, things can become convoluted and confusing.
In addition, UK Visas and Immigration may decide that they need to inquire into your business before approving any license. If this is the case, they will visit your business premises to make sure everything is above board. As professional and qualified Immigration Lawyers, we know what UK Visas and Immigration will be looking for. Therefore, we can undergo a sponsor licence compliance inspection before UKVI to sniff out any potential dangers ahead of time.
What will UKVI check for during their sponsor licence compliance inspection?
Essentially, the UKVI is making sure that the information you have submitted on your application matches with your business premises. In addition they will also look for:
- Your ability to offer safe and secure employment
- Your business is in legal standing
- You are not deemed a potential danger for immigration fraud
- Your intentions are genuinely pure
In order for the adjudicators to approve your application, they will look through your documents, records, and employee history. All this factors will tell them UKVI if your business is capable of taking on any Skilled Workers from overseas.
Visits from the UKVI are typically random and don’t involve and head notice. This can be tricky and often leave you confused as to when you can expect your business records looked in to.
If the license adjudicators discover that your application is misleading in anyway, they will decline it.
All compliance visits are public information visible on the UKVI website. Therefore, a negative decision can result in public embarrassment. Therefore it is important that you contact Elite Law Solicitors to conduct a pre-emotive sponsor licence compliance inspection to help you avoid any small mishaps.
In addition, if UKVI has determined that the extent of your discrepancies are intentional, you can be persecuted. Misleading government officials on a legal form is a crime in the UK. Therefore, discussing your situation with an attorney is your best option.
