Setting Up New Sponsoring Companies
You can only do this if you have CREATE SPONSORING COMPANY rights assigned to you by the Managing Agent.
You can set up Sponsoring Companies from the Companies Page using Add Sponsoring Company. After your Create the Company, make sure you Set Username and Password for the Managing Representative so that they can login later.
From the Companies page, you can access their profiles by clicking on the Company Name, or view their Divisions and Representatives by clicking on the appropriate buttons. Fees are not implemented at this time
Divisions
Divisions allow larger Sponsoring Companies to divide up responsibility and access. Each Division has its own Primary Contact (who must be one of the existing Representatives of the Sponsoring Company)
At creation, Cases can be assigned to a Division as well as a Sponsoring Company.
Representatives
You can only do the following if you have EDIT SPONSORING COMPANY rights assigned to you by the Managing Agent.
You can view Representatives for any Sponsoring Company by clicking the Representatives button on the Sponsoring Company profile or from the Companies page, then click the Representative name.
Representative Permissions
You can view the Representative Permissions for any Sponsoring Company if you have EDIT SPONSORING COMPANY rights assigned to you by the Managing Agent.
The Permissions are as follows:
CO – allows the Sponsoring Company profile to be modified, including the Managing Representative details – it is inadvisable to allow anyone to do this except a very trusted person as they can lock the Managing Representative out of the system.
DIV – allows the user to see all Sponsoring Company’s Divisions and Edit, Create or Delete them depending on what is selected
REP – allows the user to see all Sponsoring Company’s Representatives and Edit, Create or Delete them depending on what is selected
MIG – allows the user to see all Migrants and Edit, Create or Delete them depending on what is selected
CASE – allows the user to create and delete cases depending on what is selected. They can only see Cases to which they are assigned or that they have created themselves.
NOTE: The MIG and CASE permissions only work if the Managing Agent has allowed Sponsoring Companies to Create Cases themselves.
Representative Notifications
You can view Representative Notifications if you have EDIT SPONSORING COMPANY rights assigned to you by the Managing Agent.
Notifications can be sent by email or by SMS and are controlled in the Notification Management panel on the Representatives page. If both boxes are unchecked no notifications will be sent.
The iVisa system notifies Representatives when certain actions are taken with regard to their Cases. These actions are:
Msg – the Agent or Processor has sent them a Message on one of their Cases
Doc – the Agent or Processor has uploaded a document to one of their Cases
Assign – a new Case has been assigned to them
Visa – any changes to the form and document list (on the Visa Template, not the customization of the list by the Agent)
By checking or unchecking these items, you can control what notifications they receive.
Assigning Cases to a Representative
Your Managing Agent or the Managing Representative of the Company can modify this list.
