: Written by: Arshad Mahmood; Last Updated: 01 April 2026

Our specialist immigration solicitors for sponsor licence can provide expert immigration advice and legal representations for challenging the refusal or revocation of your sponsor licence by the Home Office UKVI if the Home Office UKVI decision to refuse your application for a sponsor licence or revoke your sponsor licence is unlawful. Our immigration solicitors for a sponsor licence will fully assess the reasons for refusal or revocation as given by the Home Office UKVI and advise you whether or not there are good grounds for challenging the refusal or revocation of the UKVI sponsor licence.

You can challenge the refusal/revocation of the sponsor licence by way of Judicial Review (JR) in the court. You must file a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) before you issue the Judicial Review (JR) proceedings to challenge the refusal/revocation of your sponsor licence.

Requesting a Review of the Sponsor Licence Application Refusal

You can apply to request a review of your application if you think it was refused because:

the caseworker processing your application made a mistake
your supporting documents were not considered

If the Home Office, UKVI, maintains the decision to refuse as a result of the review, and you believe that the decision to refuse the application is unlawful, you can challenge the refusal decision by way of Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) and Immigration Judicial Review (JR) against the Home Office, UKVI. Our expert team of sponsor licence solicitors can provide the legal support you need to challenge the refusal of your sponsor licence application.

Challenging the Revocation of the Sponsor Licence

The Home Office UKVI would normally suspend the sponsor licence and require representations and evidence from the sponsor before making a decision to revoke the licence. We can make representations to the Home Office UKVI, setting out why your sponsor licence should not be revoked following its suspension. If the Home Office, UKVI, is satisfied with the representations made to the Home Office following the suspension of the licence, the sponsor licence will be reinstated. Otherwise, the Home Office will revoke the sponsor licence.

The sponsor licence is normally refused due to the licensed sponsor's non-compliance with the sponsor duties. If the sponsor licence is revoked and we find that the decision to revoke it is unlawful, we can help you challenge it under the Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) and Judicial Review (JR). If the legal challenge succeeds, the sponsor licence will be reinstated, and your business details will once again appear in the register of sponsors.
