The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (Part V Exemption: Licensed Sponsors Tiers 2 and 4) Order 2009
This Order exempts licensed sponsors of Tier 2 and Tier 4 migrants under the Points-based system from the prohibition imposed under section 84(1) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and the related criminal offence of providing immigration advice or immigration services in breach of section 84. Immigration advice or services given in relation to matters not related to the migrant’s application under the Points-based system or to the immediate family member’s dependent application will still be regulated by the 1999 Act, a breach of which may result in prosecution for a criminal offence under that Act.
