Sponsor Licence Refusal Overturned through PAP
Add Nara Solicitors as a preferred source on Google

We’re pleased to share another success at NARA Solicitors.

Our client’s Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence application was refused by the Home Office. After reviewing the refusal letter in detail, our legal team prepared and challenged the decision through a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP).

Following our representations, the Home Office accepted that the refusal was incorrectly reached.

In their response, they confirmed that:

  • The original refusal was made in error.

  • While the previous application cannot be reopened, the cooling-off period has been waived so a new application can proceed immediately.

  • The application fee will be refunded.

  • The next application will be expedited once received.

This result highlights how expert legal representation and a precise PAP submission can overturn an unfair refusal and protect an organisation’s ability to sponsor skilled workers in the UK.

This success story carries an important message for any business facing a sponsor licence refusal. A refusal isn’t the end of the road. Even though there’s usually no appeal and a long reapplication wait looming, you do have options. In many cases, refusals can be challenged through legal action if they are based on errors or misjudgments. If your Sponsor Licence application has been refused, get in touch with us.
