Hiring beyond your Certificate of Sponsorship allocation means asking the Home Office for more, and a request without a clear business case invites questions and delay. We build the request around your hiring plan, use priority service where timing matters, answer any request for further information, and assign each CoS once the allocation is granted.

Home Office compliance visits, suspensions and revocations have increased, and visits can be unannounced. Our mock inspection replicates one: we review your HR and right-to-work records, check three sponsored workers' files at random, then either agree an action plan with your key stakeholders or put your Authorising Officer through a mock interview with a findings report. The gaps are found while there is still time to fix them.

Naturalisation is the final step after ILR, and the Home Office looks closely at residence, absences and good character. If you are eligible, whether 12 months after ILR or straight away as the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen, we check every requirement, including English and the Life in the UK test, then prepare and file your application.

From September 2026, Level 2 Users are being phased out, multi-factor authentication becomes mandatory on the SMS, and right to work check duties widen beyond sponsored workers. Here's what licensed sponsors need to know before the first deadline hits.

Settlement is a family decision. When a Skilled Worker applies for ILR, we assess the partner and each child against their own requirements, file together where they qualify, and plan the route for anyone who needs longer.

Hiring internationally starts with one permission: a sponsor licence. Without it, your business cannot assign a Certificate of Sponsorship, the digital record a skilled worker needs to apply for their visa. The licence is granted to your UK business, so it belongs in place before the hiring plan, not after the offer. We check your eligibility, prepare the application and evidence, and see it through to the Home Office decision.

A spouse visa is granted in stages, and the extension is the one most easily left late. Applying before the current permission expires keeps the five-year route to settlement intact, and this stage brings its own A2 English requirement. We track the expiry date and prepare the extension well ahead of it.

Appendix D of the sponsor guidance sets out the documents a sponsor must keep for each sponsored worker, and a compliance officer may test it by picking files at random. Our mock audit does the same: we check sponsored workers' files against Appendix D, including right to work checks, up-to-date contact details and evidence of pay, and give you a written action plan for every gap.
