Sponsor Licence Refusal Overturned with PAP with Nara Solicitors
Add Nara Solicitors as a preferred source on Google
Our client applied for their sponsor licence themselves and faced a major issue that restricted their ability to hire skilled workers from abroad. On April 23, 2025, the Home Office refused their application for a sponsor licence, which they submitted themselves. This decision caused major issues for the company, affecting their plans and operations. Determined to solve the problem, the client turned to us for legal assistance. Nara Solicitors carefully reviewed the refusal and submitted a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP), to the Home Office on May 16, 2025. Today, the client received great news from the Home Office. The Home Office admitted their mistakes in the original decision and agreed to refund the application fee. More importantly, they waived the usual six-month waiting period, allowing the company to reapply immediately for the sponsor licence. This was a huge relief as it let the company move forward without more delays. In their response, the Home Office said, “We reviewed your application and found mistakes. We will refund your fee and let you reapply immediately without waiting six months.” They also promised to review the new application quickly and thoroughly, with possible checks to ensure everything is correct. This case shows how important it is to take the right steps when dealing with home office refusal issues. By using the Pre-Action Protocol, our client was able to quickly address and fix the problem.
