Sponsorship Licence Suspension/Revocation

A situation may develop where, following a Home Office visit, your sponsorship license is being suspended. You will have normally an opportunity to provide your explanations to the Home Office decision within 20 days of receiving the suspension notification.

Team MT UK (Immigration and Human Rights Department) can provide crucial legal advice in relation to your position and assist in preparing full response with supporting documentation that can lead to your license being reinstated. The Home Office may follow on from suspension, decide to revoke your license all together.

This can only be challenged by way of judicial review proceedings. In recent times judicial review process has become a complex legal process and the Home Office decision can only be challenged if it has acted unlawfully.

Team MT UK (Immigration and Human Rights Department) can advise you on the merits challenging the revocation including the prospect to resolve this matter through pre-action protocol procedure. Team MT UK (Immigration and Human Rights Department) can advise you on making an application for “interim relief” to sponsor overseas labour/migrants whilst the proceedings are pending.
