Sponser License immigration Audits

Sponser License immigration Audits

If you are a sponsor licence holder, you will be inspected by the Home Office at some point during the validity period of your licence. This is to make sure that the information you gave as part of your sponsor licence application is accurate and that you are able and continuing to comply with the duties and responsibilities of a licensed sponsor. UKVI may also visit your business premises to carry out checks before a decision on your sponsor licence application is made.

Ram & Co can draw on their experience of Home Office compliance requirements to conduct an immigration audit of your business ahead of any Home Office inspection.

What occurs during a Home Office compliance visit?

When UKVI compliance officers visit your business premises they will check that:

• Information that has been given to UKVI is accurate and complete.
• You can offer employment at the Skilled Worker skill level.
• You are genuine and trading or operating lawfully in the United Kingdom.
• There are no reasons to believe you represent a threat to immigration control.

During the visit, the officer might not signal their evaluation or comment on your capacity to fulfil sponsor duties.

How an immigration audit by Ram & Co can help?

Our team can draw on their experience of Home Office compliance requirements to conduct a mock immigration audit of your business in prior of Home Office Inspection.

During our mock immigration audit, a specialist from our team will:

• Verify information that you gave on your sponsor licence application.
• Check your document management and record-keeping systems to ensure that you are complying with all your sponsor duties.
• Review the personnel files of any sponsored migrants to identify any deficiencies and areas for improvement.
• Interview any of your employees involved in the recruitment of migrant workers to prepare them for the type of questions that a Home Office inspector is likely to ask.
• Speak to any migrant workers to determine whether they are familiar with the terms and conditions of their UK visas.
• Conduct checks on other workers to ensure you are complying with your obligation to prevent illegal working.

After the mock audit, our team will prepare a comprehensive report to identify the risk areas and providing expert recommendations for improvement.
