Our business immigration department regularly assist UK and US employers to successfully apply for their Skilled Worker sponsor licences under the Global Business Mobility Route and under the traditional Skilled Worker route.

Our recent success story involved an multi-national company’s takeover of a UK company who held a sponsor licence. Whether you need a new sponsor licence depends on the details of the merger. If your organisation is legally absorbed by another company and ceases to exist as a legal entity, the sponsor licence will no longer be valid, and the new employer must apply for a new licence.

The UK establishment applied for a new sponsor licence based on the type of merger within 28 days and confirmed their full responsibility of the current skilled worker under the new sponsor licence.

Another of our recent success story involved a UK company who required our assistance and advice on applying for several defined Certificate of Sponsorships. Their attempts on applying several times themselves proved to be unsuccessful. Our client instructed us and we were successful in obtaining the necessary Certificate of Sponsorship to enable their employee to join them in the UK under the Skilled Worker route.
