- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many companies applying for the right to sponsor overseas employees have had their application fee reimbursed after refusal.
[122356]
- Answer
-
No sponsor has had their application fee reimbursed after refusal.
Sponsors pay a fee for the consideration of their licensing application.
If the UK Border Agency refuses, the application the fee is not refunded. Where there is evidence to show that the UK Border Agency made an error in considering
the application, the prospective sponsor submits a new application and the UK Border Agency will process the new application without a fee.
