Sponsor License Compliance Visit 3 weeks ago - still waiting

[bbburger]

Hi guys,
We applied for my small company to receive a sponsor license on the 30th of January.
We had a pre-registration compliance visit 3 weeks ago, and we still haven't heard anything from the UKBA.
Is this normal?
Just getting anxious about the length of time this is taking.
Thanks for any info

Hi There,

I had applied for tier-2 general application in March, 17. My job start date has also been surpassed. And these helpline numbers are good for nothing. Just to say "Application is under process" they take 40-50 mins. 4 weeks back UK VI visited my employer and had checked everything possible. It went well but me/employer haven't been contacted after that. Can anyone please tell how long do they take to decide? Please share your experiences as I am tired of waiting.

Slightly unrelated question, why would such a small company jump through all these hoops when there are most likely plenty of local people suitable?

What with applying for, paying for and administering the sponsorship licensing there's the added cost and delay of RMLT to perform....
