In the event of your organisation’s sponsor licence being suspended followed by revocation, we can assess the merits on your case and if there is a realistic prospect of success, we can judicially review the revocation decision and where appropriate, assist the sponsor with this process by issuing a claim at the UK Courts & Tribunals.

 

Once the Home Office has revoked a sponsor licence, they will also curtail the leave of any sponsored workers who are currently employed by the sponsor. The sponsored worker will usually have their leave curtailed to 60 calendar days unless they have fewer than this remaining, in which case no action will be taken.

 

If a sponsored worker has their leave curtailed, they will have to either make another application for leave to remain in a category for which they qualify, find an alternative employment with a licenced sponsor, or leave the UK.

 

As there is no right of appeal against a decision to revoke a sponsor licence and a sponsor will be prohibited from making a further application for a sponsor licence until the end of the appropriate cooling off period. This is usually 12 months from the date the sponsor licence was revoked.

 

However, upon a new application for a sponsor licence the applicant will need to address the reasons for the previous revocation.
