Sponsor Licence Suspensions
A sponsor licence suspension is a serious warning signal from the Home Office—and one that requires immediate action. When your licence is suspended, you can’t assign new Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS), which can delay or derail hiring plans. More critically, if the issues aren’t addressed promptly and convincingly, suspension may lead to revocation—putting current sponsored workers and your entire immigration strategy at risk.
At AAGA Solicitors, we help businesses respond decisively. We review the suspension notice, identify areas of non-compliance, and work with you to prepare a detailed representation within the tight 20-working-day deadline. Whether the issue stems from record-keeping, reporting failures, or right-to-work checks, we help you correct processes, provide evidence of remedial action, and persuade the Home Office to lift the suspension.
