Defined COS issue

Post by fatguyslim » Fri Mar 08, 2024 12:55 pm

Hello everyone, been hearing a lot of issues from some applicants who got defined COS in health care. The employers sponsoring these applicants failed to provide them with the job when they came to the UK. I have heard this is happening a lot now given the deadline is fast approaching. I am just curious how the sponsor can get away with doing something like this if they don't even give anything in writing to these new employees?

I am kinda worried about my brother now given that he is on a 5 year sponsorship and if his company decides to fire him for whatever reason then what option does he have to stay in the country?

Find another job during curtailment period/return back to home country and apply for a visa again, as he did for the current one.

I understand that part but what I need to know is where the company faces any repercussions for not providing the job or terminating the employment without giving any reason? Are employers allowed to simply withdraw the sponsorship without giving valid reason to the Home Office?

Yes, they can do that, it is entirely up to the company whether to continue sponsoring an employee or not. They dont have to give UKVI a reason.

Sponsors not abiding by their licence conditions would simply lose their licence.

Many care employers are currently under investigation.
