Commercial Immigration

 

At Thaliwal Bridge Solicitors we offer the same expert assistance and guidance in this new area of work-related immigration, as we have always provided to our clients. We provide bespoke high quality assistance to clients covering both East and West Midlands. In addition we work on a basis that is convenient to each individual client and can arrange appointments and locations to you, should it be your office, your home or place of work. Our services include the following:

• Assistance with the task obtaining your business a Sponsor Licence, ensuring wherever possible that an employer is awarded an A-rating from the start, and that they are given the maximum reasonable “quota”. This process includes an initial compliance audit relating to the employer’s HR systems and procedures. The processes and materials that we use are designed to be as efficient as possible in helping clients ensure that they meet the requirements of the new system.

 

• Administration of the Sponsor Management System, on behalf of the employer. This includes keeping accurate records of all issued Certificates, and of all information provided through the SMS to The UK Borders Agency. We will update all relevant details as we are informed of them, and flag up any mistakes or discrepancies, before these cause any problems with the UK Borders Agency.

• Administering the issuing of Certificates of Sponsorship on behalf of the Sponsor, in line with the above, general administration of the SMS. This involves checking the situation meets current guidance, making a case for each certificate, and making checks as necessary on the documentary evidence available to confirm a person’s qualifications and/or work experience. It is also necessary for supporting documentation to be collated and kept on file, ready for inspection as and when required by the Border Agency.

 

• Preferential rates of our professional fees for skilled migrants seeking assistance in extending current leave to remain or applying for entry clearance to take up the position of employment.

• A point of contact for support at all times - all clients are provided with a mobile telephone number and email address of the relevant fee earner for enquiries or support issues.
