We are proud to share another success story from NARA Solicitors.
Our client has been granted a fresh Sponsor Licence along with 2 Certificates of Sponsorship, after a long road that included a revocation and a subsequent refusal.
This is the kind of case that shows why preparation and accuracy matter at every stage of the sponsor licence application process.
The Background
Our client originally held a Sponsor Licence from 21 April 2022. That licence was revoked on 28 May 2024.
After serving the mandatory cooling off period, they applied again on 4 July 2025. That application was refused on 12 November 2025.
The reason for the refusal was specific. The Home Office found that the client had not itemised payslips correctly, with overtime hours not clearly shown. This may sound like a small administrative issue, but for the Home Office it goes to the heart of whether a sponsor can be trusted to keep accurate records and meet sponsor duties under the Workers and Temporary Workers guidance.
Our Approach
We took the time to go through the previous refusal in detail. We looked at what the Home Office had actually said, what evidence had been submitted, and where the gaps were.
We then worked with the client to put proper systems in place. Payslips were reviewed and itemised correctly. Overtime hours were clearly recorded and shown. We made sure the wider HR file and right to work checks were also in good shape, because a refusal often invites the Home Office to look at everything.
When the new application was submitted on 14 May 2026, the supporting documents were complete, consistent, and matched the job descriptions and salary information being relied on for the Certificates of Sponsorship.
If your business is preparing a Sponsor Licence application after a refusal or revocation, contact NARA Solicitors before you submit. The second attempt is rarely a copy of the first.
The Outcome
The Sponsor Licence has now been granted along with 2 Certificates of Sponsorship. There was no pre-licence interview. There was no further information request from the Home Office. The application was decided on the papers as submitted.
For a business that had been refused only months earlier, this is a clean result.
If your last application was refused, a careful compliance audit before reapplying can save you another refusal.
