If you are not level 1 or level 2 user than by rule your brother can be assigned a DCOS from your company, you only needed to add this information into sponsor notes which you had done.
However, this wont be an easy skilled worker visa for your brother.Do expect some extra documents, calls and/or compliance visit from home office. You will need to justify with proofs why only your brother could do this job. There will be some extra checks as well in the country he is residing.

What exact wording did you put on the sponsor note - that could be crucial in deciding whether the caseworker considers if it was you by default that issued the COS as opposed to the level 1. If you instructed the level 1 to issue the COS as you are their employer, that places a number of questions in the head of the caseworker.

It is always an awkward position employing relatives under the skilled worker route particularly if you are a small company.

This is the wording i use in sponsor note

Please note that employment dates will be as follows: Start Date: 13.05.2024 End Date: 12.05.2027. Please note that Mr XYZ is the brother of the AO, Mr ABC . Mr ABC has posted job adverts in the UK, after considerable time he has not been successful to source from local. Mr ABC explained and persuaded to Mr XYZ to join his company as it is believed that he has good experience. This CoS is assigned 3541 under SOC2010, it is now 3551 under SOC2020.

All looks fine, explained the situation clearly and stated unable to fill the role locally. The Home Office may ask for sight of the job adverts and perhaps more information on applications etc.
Has the company sponsored any other workers? If not then I am sure there will be more scrutiny of the role and how your brother fits into the role. I would not be surprised if he is interviewed at the visa application stage.

Frontier Mole I know its hard to say anything in this stage however can you please tell me whats the chance on this application,

[Frontier Mole]

Based on the information provided there is nothing to suggest your brother’s visa application will lead directly to a refusal. You have followed the correct procedure for issuing a COS, you have declared the relationship, you have attempted to recruit locally. All those are positives.
The assurance that the role is a genuine vacancy is not for me to consider, that is for the Home Office. There is always a huge degree of scepticism with relatives being employed on the skilled worker route.

Good luck and hope you have a successful outcome.

Thanks you soo much for your help and i will definitely update the outcome … finger crossed

[best4arslan]

I am also in similar kind of situation, I want to sponsor my brother, the difference is I haven't assigned the DCos yet, and I am the Director and owner of the company but not the level 1 user, want to know what are the chances?

[jay.ho]

Same here i also did the same i am not sure the outcome however maybe someone here who can give a good advice what to do

[jay.ho]

Frontier Mole Is a good expert on skill worker visa I believe, and advise already however i want to know if anyone have experience to assign to family member


Please share if someone do

[Frontier Mole]

I have seen many close family members gain skilled worker visa. Stick absolutely to the rules, declare it on the SMS / COS note field and there is less of an issue.
The biggest problem is non declaration and the non-genuine vacancy scepticism.
The OP has followed the rules, the job looks very like it is a genuine vacancy so I am confident that the outcome is more than likely to be positive.

Same here i also did the same i am not sure the outcome however maybe someone here who can give a good advice what to do

Did you put the application through for entry clearance?

CoS has been used/validated and linked with your brother application now, So first part of your application is done i.e. CoS , SOC points etc. Now they will look for other things.

Good Luck
