Finalising Your Application Form

It is now time to move on to submitting your application to the Home Office by filling in the Stage Two Application Form and completing the accompanying documents. If you have been completing the Application Form as you went through the modules, you should have your first draft ready.

The Declaration will be completed by the Lead Sponsor.

You can download an application with example answers below. These answers are there to guide you, but please adapt them to suit your group, location and the family you will support:

Checking your Application

Our partners at Reset provide an Application Checking Service.

If Citizens UK/Sponsor Refugees are your Lead Sponsor, we will check through your application pack.

Submission and Supporting Documents 

The application must be submitted by the lead individual at your Lead Sponsor organisation who should review the application and add personal details in the relevant sections. If Citizens UK/Sponsor Refugees is your Lead Sponsor, we will do this.

You will need to send:

1. A completed Stage Two Application Form
2. A Complaints Policy
3. Evidence to show that a minimum of £9,000 has been ring-fenced in a bank account for the purposes of a sponsorship.
4. Confirmation that you have sent the Police Notification Form
5. Confirmation that you have invited the relevant Local Authority to inspect the property
6. A Fact Sheet for the Family

Submitting the Application Form is a big moment for your Group, and it is worth having a Group celebration at this stage!
