Sponsor migrants on skilled worker visa or student visas

Both the skilled worker visa programs and also the student visas have changed. Once the sponsor licence application is approved, we will advise on the CoS or CAS allocations. 

We will ensure the migrants identified or to be sponsored, meet the requirements.

As immigration laws change without notice, we will provide your enterprise with information relevant to ensure there are non-compliance issues. 

• We will check and advise on the requirements to apply for allocations. 
• Apply for your allocations using the migrant information and ensure your enterprise have completed all requirements. 
• Liaise with the Home Office to ensure allocation approvals are completed.
• Complete the allocations and assign to migrants. 

They will use the allocated CoS or CAS to apply for their visas. If you need advise on visa applications and its process, please do email us at info@icslegal.com. 

Training & compliance on sponsor licence

We deal with a number of client's who manage their own sponsor licence but then are audited by the Home Office.

In most cases, the audits are completed without prior notice and once they attend, the Enforcement Team can serve penalties. 

Our Compliance Team at ICS Legal provides both helpful legal advice and training to avoid such situations. It's good business practice to have a sofware platform to ensure the compliance is being met. 

• Provide legal updates on changes to the immigration rules and regulations. 
• Conduct personalised training with enterprises. 
• We offer legal advice on matters that may impact your enterprise. 

Refusals & sponsor licence revocation

A sponsor licence application can be refused as well as those holding a sponsor licence, can have their sponsor licence revoked. 

One of the most common grounds of revoking a sponsor licence is due to non-compliance or the audit visit had concluded that the enterprise is not fit to undertake sponsorship duties. 

• If you have been served a Home Office decision letter, please email this to us at info@icslegal.com or call us on 020 7237 3388.
