Cooperating with us

This page explains how expect you to cooperate with us when you are a licensed sponsor under the points-based system.

You must cooperate with us as follows:

  • allow our staff access to any of your premises or any site under your control on demand. Visits may be either prearranged or unannounced;
  • stick to any sponsorship action plan set by us;
  • look to minimise the risk of immigration abuse by complying with any good practice guidance that we or any sector body may produce for you in particular tiers or sectors.

Terms explained

  • B rating

    This term is applied to a sponsor under the points-based system for coming to the United Kingdom to work, train or study. It is the rating awarded by us when a sponsor joins the register of sponsors. A B rating is a transitional rating for a sponsor who is under a sponsorship action plan.
