Sponsorship for Tier 2

Post by rt_rachel » Wed Jun 21, 2017 7:39 pm

If Company A owns Company B and A is on the list of Tier 2 UK sponsors. Can a person work for B with a sponsorship from A???

Please provide your expertise guys. Thanks

is the UKVI aware that company A owns company B. Let your AO or a level officer inform the UKVI and they will be advised if company B needs to get a separate sponsorship licence.

By the way did company A just acquire company B? if this is the case, then company A needs to inform UKVI. But if company A has always owned company B before they before Tier 2 sponsor, I would imagine that the two companies would have been assessed when sponsorship licence was requested the first time.

Again the best thing to ask your level 1 officer to contact UKVI.
I am not a lawyer and do not claim to be one. All my comments here are based on my opinions, experience and interpretation of the appropriate UKVI guidance documents and immigration rules.
