How much help can I give?

Don't forget that you cannot give immigration advice. This means you cannot recommend that an employee makes his or her application in a particular way, submits certain documents, or makes a certain type of application.

You risk a fine of $100,000 if you give immigration advice. Therefore, a good practical way to help your employees is to make sure that they have access to a competent immigration advisor or specialist immigration lawyer.
