Interpreting Home Office' Immigration Audit results

Understanding the results of an immigration audit is as important as going through the audit process itself. As it is the results that will tell you if you've done well or bad in your audit. It will also be important for you to understand what corrective measures you will have to take should you be found not meeting up to the Home Office Standards for a holder of a Tier 2 Sponsor licence.

Our Immigration solicitors have over 40 combined years of experience with immigration audits and can help you answer your questions as well as complications.

Also, if you sponsor licence have been downgraded, we can also give you professional advice on how best to approach this. Similarly if you have been fined, we can advise you on whether you should deny and challenge, deny and pay or accept and pay.

The audit

The UKBA's immigration audit results are scored between 1 and 3, where 3 is the highest. The scores are awarded with reference to the following: -

3. HR Systems: - This relates to whether or not the audit team was able to identify a reasonable and sustainable way of identifying their migrant workers' current grant of leave as well as when it is coming to an end.
4. Convictions and Civil Penalties: - This relates to whether or not the business has any migrant with any or an unspent criminal conviction or have become liable for a civil penalty.
5. Migrant compliance: - The UKBA would also seek to determine whether or not migrant employees within your establishment are complying with the immigration rules especially as it relates to their working hours and other possible breaches to their granted leave. An employed migrant student for example who is working more than the working hours they are allowed.
