FOI release

Timescale of notifying organisations of Tier 4 status

Published 5 January 2015

A sponsor is formally notified in writing by letter and/or by email, and the Tier 4 status updated in the Sponsorship Management System (SMS), on the day UKVI officials make any changes to the status of its sponsor licence. The published Tier 4 Register of Sponsors is refreshed and updated, and will reflect any change to a Tier 4 sponsors status, the following working day.
