OTS Success In Sponsorship Licence Application For International Bank Based In London

Posted onNovember 7, 2016

Solicitor – Teni Shahiean – Partner and co-founder of OTS Solicitors

Background

Our client was an international bank based in London who required a Sponsor Licence to employ a staff member working in an overseas branch of the organisation. To gain entry into the UK, the employee had to apply for a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Visa.

How we helped

Teni worked with the bank closely, taking the time to understand their reasons for needing the Sponsor Licence and ensuring that a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Visa was the best strategy to use.

Once she established that it was, she made the application for the Sponsor Licence. Because she partnered closely with the bank’s HR team, she was able to advise on all the supporting documentation that UK Visas & Immigration would require to approve the application quickly.

The process was smooth and efficient, with the Sponsor Licence being granted in under four weeks.

Teni then organised a Certificate of Sponsorship for the employee who would be applying for the Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Visa. This was obtained within two weeks because of her in-depth understanding of the process and what is required to ensure applications for a Certificate of Sponsorship are submitted correctly the first time so no unnecessary delays occur.

Follow up support

Teni and her team provided the bank’s HR and Compliance Officer with the knowledge they require to meet their ongoing regulatory obligations under the Sponsor Licence regime. They continue to be on hand to offer advice and training as and when required.

Hans is incredible - look nowhere else !! My parents experience has been sensational . They have asked me to leave this review on their behalf . They had a very difficult case and were concerned about their future and Hans assisted them with a positive outcome which we thought could take years to resolve . From start to finish he and his colleagues had a one to one zoom call with us and then provided their advice and next steps . The best thing about Hans is he is always in contact , even in the evenings but this isn’t the only reason why he’s amazing , it is how articulate and how much care and thought they have put into the case that they managed to secure success . Hans you’re an asset to the firm and keep going and changing peoples’ lives . We couldn’t have done it without you . Anyone seeking advice and comfort , this firm , especially Hans has such an incredible reputation and will not let you down . Thank you Case Workers: Hans Sok Appadu
