This video is about Sponsor Licence Application Refusal.
The Home Office refuses Sponsor Licence applications for two main reasons.
The first reason —and less devastating—is if you’ve submitted an incomplete application. You may have missed documents, or not completed part of the application. If this is the case, they will refund the application fee, and you can reapply without restriction. This type of refusal is easily avoided with some expert help and due diligence, although it will still cost you the time needed to reapply and receive approval.
Second reason, if your application is refused because The Home Office questions the integrity of your claim, the result is much more serious. You will not receive a refund, and you will be barred from reapplying for six months. This can seriously impact operations, especially if you have a candidate you need to hire promptly.
There are four areas where this refusal occurs.
1. You have failed to show a genuine need for Non-EU skilled workers.
2. You did not pass a Home Office compliance officer’s on-site visit.
3. You listed support staff in your application that had questionable character or were not legitimate employees.
4. You did not show an ability to maintain compliance as a Sponsor.
These areas must be addressed in full before applying again. As always, the best defense is to have a strong and complete application.
