Immigration alert: Documents to be held on file after sponsorship
Following a change in guidance yesterday, there is an update in relation to documents which should be kept on file following the sponsorship of a Skilled Worker or a Temporary Worker.
As sponsors will be aware, for some Tier 2 (General) applications before 1 December 2020 it was necessary to advertise the role for 28 days as part of a resident labour market test (RLMT). When the Skilled Worker category replaced Tier 2 (General) from 1 December 2020, the RLMT was abolished. However, the guidance (known as Appendix D) clarifies that certain documents about the recruitment process of sponsored workers still need to be held on file.
