We are a specialised UK immigration law firm.
I want to share some very important information with you if you are being affected by the Revocation of your employer’s Tier 2 Sponsor Licence.
The question I often get asked is this:
If the organisation was to lose Tier 2 sponsor licence then could their sponsored migrant workers continue to work for them?
We wrote to the Home Office asking them to provide a very clear and precise guideline on this. We received a positive response, recently in November 2017, stating that the migrant could continue working for the sponsor up until their curtailed leave expires.
This positive response is very useful for two reasons.
Number 1: The business would not need to terminate employment of their sponsored workers with immediate effect
Number 2: and very important to migrant worker because if there was to be a break of more than 60 days in a Sponsored Migrant’s continued work between employments then they shall not be eligible for settlement. This is a very technical piece of information, but it can mean the difference between qualifying for settlement, or NOT qualifying for settlement. When a sponsored worker can remain with a sponsor— even one with a revoked licence—for a period of time, they are better set to meet the settlement requirements.
I hope this information will be useful to you.
If you need a copy of the email from the Home Office, please contact us. Our contact details are at the bottom of the video. We would be more than happy to share this information with you.
Thank you.

"I would like to sincerely thank AY &J and my solicitor, Ikra and her team for their professionalism, patience and support throughout my family’s BN(O) ILR application. My case was not a straightforward one. The application involved complex issues surrounding sole responsibility, family arrangements, and the children’s dependency under the BN(O) household route. The case required careful presentation of the children’s best interests, the practical reality of our family arrangement, and extensive supporting evidence. Throughout the process, Ikra was thorough, knowledgeable and extremely patient in reviewing all the evidence and addressing the legal and practical complexities of the case. I particularly appreciated the detailed guidance regarding sole responsibility, supporting documentation, and how to properly present the long-standing family arrangement to the Home Office. I am truly grateful that the application was ultimately approved. I would highly recommend AY &J to other Hong Kong BN(O) families, especially those with more complicated circumstances requiring careful legal preparation and attention to detail. Thank you again for all your hard work and support throughout this journey."
"Thank you Imad and team for the exemplary visa sponsorship support you provided to my company. We really appreciated the attention to detail and rapid turnaround under very tight deadlines. We would definitely instruct A Y & J in future and would gladly recommend to others."
