A Skilled Worker application depends on several parts that must all line up.
The parts
- A licensed sponsor.
- A Certificate of Sponsorship for a role in an eligible occupation.
- Pay that meets the rules.
- English language evidence.
How to read the rules
Start with the gov.uk overview, then the pages on your job and English. The Immigration Rules hold the legal text.
