Suspension Response
You have 20 working days to respond, and how you respond determines everything. Our team produces evidence-led representations, point-by-point rebuttals, and a remedial action plan designed to get your licence back to A-rating.
Revocation Challenge & Judicial Review
No right of appeal. No second chances. Judicial review in the Administrative Court is the only route, and we've used it to overturn revocation decisions, including securing urgent interim relief to stop your workers' visas being curtailed.

Frequently Asked Questions

A suspension is temporary, the Home Office pauses your ability to issue new Certificates of Sponsorship while they investigate. You typically have 20 working days to respond. Depending on your representations, the licence may be reinstated, downgraded to a B-rating, or revoked. A revocation is permanent. Your licence is cancelled, you can no longer sponsor any workers, and your existing sponsored employees' visas are curtailed to 60 days. There is no right of appeal, the only route to challenge it is judicial review in the Administrative Court.

We offer transparent fixed fees based on case complexity. As a guide: suspension responses start from £1,995 + VAT, and revocation challenges including judicial review start from £3,500 + VAT. We'll assess your case and give you a clear fee quote before you instruct us, no surprises.

Yes. During a suspension, sponsored workers whose visas remain valid can continue to work for you. You cannot issue new Certificates of Sponsorship, and any pending visa applications or extensions will be placed on hold until the suspension is resolved.

The Home Office will curtail your sponsored workers' permission to stay in the UK, typically giving them 60 days to find a new sponsor, switch to a different visa route, or leave the UK. Acting quickly is critical. If we can challenge the revocation and obtain interim relief, the curtailment can be suspended while the case is resolved.

Contact a specialist immigration lawyer immediately. You have 20 working days to submit representations to the Home Office, and the quality of your response is the single biggest factor in what happens next. Do not attempt to respond without legal advice, poorly prepared representations can lead to revocation. In the meantime, your existing sponsored workers can generally continue working, but you cannot issue new Certificates of Sponsorship.

If your licence is revoked and you don't challenge it, you'll need to wait 12 months before submitting a new application, during which time you cannot sponsor any workers. That's another reason why challenging a revocation through judicial review, rather than accepting the decision, is often the right call.

No. There is no statutory right of appeal. The only legal route is judicial review in the Administrative Court, which examines whether the Home Office's decision was lawful, rational, and procedurally fair. We have successfully overturned revocation decisions through judicial review, including securing urgent interim relief to prevent worker visa curtailments.

We mobilise within 24 hours of instruction. For suspension responses, we work within your 20-working-day deadline. For revocation challenges requiring urgent judicial review and interim relief, we can prepare and file proceedings within days. The sooner you reach out, the stronger your position.
