Certificate of Sponsorship support

Assigning a Certificate of Sponsorship is one of the practical steps where sponsor-side mistakes can cause avoidable worker delays. We help employers understand how the certificate fits into the wider process.

The certificate should reflect the genuine role and the wider immigration route accurately.
It sits within a bigger process involving the sponsor, the worker and the supporting evidence.
Errors at this stage can create downstream problems for the application.
