Book your 20/20 Immigration Health Check


An in-depth analysis to prepare your business for imminent changes to the Immigration System

We know how important your business and maintaining a competitive advantage is to you.


We know how complex and fast-changing immigration law can be, with further important changes coming soon.


Fortunately, we know immigration law and sponsor licence rules better than anyone.


Our 20/20 Immigration Health Check will deliver an honest expert assessment of your current immigration and Sponsor Management Systems compliance and provide a clear action plan for the future.

What to expect from a 20/20 Immigration Health Check

01 Free Initial Consultation

Before we even book a date for your 20/20 Immigration Health Check we offer a free, no obligation consultation with one of the heads of our corporate immigration teams. This allows us to find out more about you and your company, the current pressures you face and to assess whether an Immigration Health Check will add value to your organisation.


This consultation can take place via telephone or video conference  at a time convenient to you. This consultation normally lasts around 30 minutes and can be scheduled during our extended opening hours of 07:00-19:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00-13:00 on Saturday.


Only after this point will we proceed to book an on-site visit to carry out the 20/20 Immigration Health Check and send out some pre-visit information questions for you to answer so that we can tailor our assessment to your individual company needs.


02 Site Visit 

As each site visit is individually tailored to your company, there is no set format to an Immigration Health Check. Our aim is to gain a deeper understanding of your business and the risks you are likely to face in the future.


A typical site visit would normally include:

  • A meeting with your relevant senior people which could include your HR Director, HR Manager, Authorising Officer or Level 1 User.
  • A review of your current immigration compliance processes plus checks on whether these are being followed in your business.
  • We conduct a sample audit of your personnel files for sponsored workers.
  • We will analyse the extent to which your business is dependent on migrant workers, and what impact changes to the immigration rules will have upon your business.
  • We will identify whether your business is making the best use of the sponsor licence and tools currently available to employ international staff. 
  • We will review your Brexit strategy for your EU workers.

If there are particular concerns you have, or areas of high risk identified, then the site visit will be targeted on these area to give a better understanding of specific issues.


03 Report

At the end of the site visit you will be presented with a full Immigration Health Check report which highlights areas that have been assessed. There will be a full discussion of what is working well for you as well as areas which would benefit from some improvements.


Where areas for improvement have been identified, there will be simple, practical solutions suggested where these are relatively minor. For more fundamental improvements a clear and structured action plan will be recommended to you for your consideration.


Ultimately, you will have peace of mind in knowing that your legal requirements have been fully assessed in line with current best practice with a road map for the future set out for you in jargon-free common sense language.

I worked closely with OTB Legal who were helping a multi-national company carry out a sponsor licence compliance audit. I was very impressed with their comprehensive understanding of Home Office systems and procedures. More importantly, they were very easy to work with and struck an excellent balance between the constraints of the rules and pragmatism.

Jim Richardson

People and HR Consultant


Setting up a business in UK and relocating an international team is exciting yet a challenging and long process. It can be difficult and frustrating to figure out what needs to be done.


OTB provided an outstanding support and guidance. Their team of knowledgeable experts navigated us through complex immigration procedures be UK regulations.
