    Please be aware, this current govt and its civil servants take a very dim view to those who setup companies just to gain financially by bending the rules of law....oh hang on, no they don't

    Or just one - there are British citizens who are crooks and scammers with limited companies. In that case though, the British one could well face jail for immigration offences. Hope so.

    How simple do we need to make this

    Your only option until you have the right to remain is to be an employee of the company directly using your services.

    But the cut will be significant because what exactly can the OP do about it - report the culprit and the OP will be the one sent home and permanently excluded from the IK.

    Basically you can’t do it in a sane way - you are better off finding another job and counting down the years until you can apply for the right to stay

    And yes it is from 7 years ago but nothing has changed there and nothing ever will.

    Try here.

    But

    UKBA (Tier 2&5 of the Points Based System – Guidance for Sponsors V02/14) paragraph 5.6:
    If you are an employment agency or employment business, you can apply for a sponsor licence but only to sponsor migrant workers who will be employed by you connected with the running of your business. You can’t sponsor a migrant who you then supply to a third party as labour, regardless of any contractual arrangement between the parties involved.
    And in paragraph 5.7
    If you are a sponsor that wants to employ a migrant worker who has been supplied to you by an employment agency or business, you can only assign a certificate of sponsorship (CoS) if you: a) have full responsibility for deciding the duties, functions and outcomes, or outputs of the job the migrant is doing. b) Are responsible for agreeing and paying the migrant’s salary.
    So here's the complete list:
