Get Your Sponsor Licence Refusal Reviewed

On these matters, the same day where we can. The deadline does not move, so neither do we.

Yes. Error correction or reapplication, we can prepare either. We also set up the compliance systems the Home Office will expect.

We read your refusal letter and tell you whether there is an arguable caseworker error. We also confirm how long you have left to request an error correction. If there is no case, we say so.

Not for the error correction. If it succeeds and you reapply, you pay the Sponsor Licence fee again. It is refunded once the new application is received.

Our fee for reviewing the letter and preparing the error correction starts at £[confirm] plus VAT. There is no Home Office fee for the correction itself.

It can be taken into account, particularly if the reasons are not fixed. That is why the reapplication has to address the refusal head on.

A Worker licence for long-term employment such as Skilled Worker, or a Temporary Worker licence for short-term routes. It must match the route you intend to use.

You can submit, but the Home Office will refuse it automatically. Use the time to fix what caused the refusal.

Six months for most refusals. Twelve months where a civil penalty was involved, from the date it was paid. Some refusals carry none. Serious cases can reach five years, and where more than one applies, the longest governs.

If the Home Office agrees an error occurred, you reapply and pay again. That fee is refunded once the new application is received. It does not depend on the outcome.

Then error correction will fail, and the refusal will stand. A fresh application usually has to wait until any cooling-off period ends, which is six months for most refusals. We tell you which one you have before you commit.

The Home Office aims to reply within 28 working days of receiving the form.

Your Authorising Officer. The Home Office also sends the decision to them.

No. Anything not available when you first applied will not be looked at. If your case needs new material, a fresh application is the route.

There are four. Evidence you sent not being considered. A genuine document treated as false. The guidance not applied correctly. An application wrongly refused as out of time. The guidance own example is a cooling-off period applied incorrectly.

Rejection and refusal lead to different next steps. Error correction only applies to a refusal. Sorting that out first saves you time and a wasted fee.

Error correction is then closed. Judicial Review may still be open in narrow circumstances, and a fresh application can be made once any cooling-off period has ended. Take advice quickly either way.

14 calendar days from the date on the refusal letter. Not working days, and not from the date you received it.

No. There is no statutory right of appeal against a Sponsor Licence refusal, or against an error correction outcome. Judicial Review is available on narrow legal grounds, and normally starts with a pre-action protocol letter to the Home Office.

The letter will say. Rejected means invalid, usually the wrong fee or a missing mandatory document, and your fee is refunded. Refused means considered and declined, and it is not.
