Sponsor Licence Refusal Overturned for Care Provider Through Pre-Action Protocol

A care provider’s sponsor licence was refused by home office on 12th Feb 2025.

With time being critical, our Solicitors Samarth Singla, led by Sukhvinder Singh Nara, swiftly prepared a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter, which was submitted to the Home Office on 21st February 2025, resulting in the Home Office overturning the refusal, waiving the cooling-off period, and agreeing that the new consideration will be expediated so there is no requirement for your client to pay the priority fee.

Our Approach: Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)

Determined to help our client, we submitted a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter on 21st Feb, 2025.

The Outcome: Refusal Overturned

Following our intervention, the Home Office reviewed the case and acknowledged their error and provided the following resolutions:

• The 6-month cooling-off period was waived, allowing the client to submit a new application immediately.
• The Home Office committed to expediting the processing of the new application, without the client paying the priority fees.

Although the Home Office could not reconsider the original application, they provided clear instructions for submitting a new one, which would receive priority processing.
