How do you transfer a sponsorship?

By Patriclad

I have a friend who is 10 months into his visa but his company has no work for him and my company is willing to employ him.

It has been suggested on QL that we can transfer his sponsorship to the new company is this possible?

His current sponsor has no problem in releasing him and will sign any form or document to help his transfer.

Can anybody help me and tell me if this is legal and how to approach this, also any websites with the information would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

If he is only 10 months with his present Company as his first Sponsor it will not be possible now to change the Sponsorship to your Company. He should complete 2 years with the first Sponsor.

If this is the first company than he should wait for two years to eligible for changing the sponsership and if he has already change once then after one year he will be eligible for changing the sponsership that is the best of my knowledge.best wishes

Your friend can only request the letter from previous company. There will two legal stamps & signatures : one from previous employeer & immigiration office to acknowledge.
