A Georgia originator assumes in 2026 that the employer will handle every sponsorship entry on the Registry. How are sponsorship entry and verification responsibilities divided between employer and originator?
Correct Answer
A) Partly right: the employer initiates it, the originator checks it
Sponsorship must be initiated and maintained by the licensed broker or lender employing the originator, and it is the responsibility of every applicant and licensee to ensure that sponsorship is correctly reflected at all times on the Registry. Other choices: making it entirely the employer duty drops the originator half; the originator does not apply for it; and an annual confirmation is not what at all times means. Source: Ga. Comp.
