No personal details required. This is a preparation aid, not an eligibility assessment.
Your next preparation task
Search by role and verify the employer
A sponsor licence is a starting fact, not a job offer or a promise to sponsor every vacancy. Build a focused search and avoid paid guarantees.
- Define target roles using your actual experience and qualifications.
- Verify employers and distinguish vacancies from sponsorship promises.
- Track applications and avoid paying for a job or guaranteed certificate.
Your next preparation task
Check the actual role before committing
The sponsor, job duties, salary, certificate and personal requirements need to fit together. A contract or certificate alone is not a visa decision.
- Verify the employer and the real duties and work location.
- Check occupation, salary and certificate details against current rules.
- Map personal evidence, costs and permission timing before submission.
Your next preparation task
Establish the dates before deciding the next move
Employment events and immigration permission are related but distinct. Gather the actual notices and status facts rather than assuming one universal countdown.
- Save the employer notice, current permission and any Home Office correspondence.
- Record the exact dates and unanswered status questions.
- Review lawful next options promptly and take complex issues to a regulated adviser.
