Are you an overstayer, on immigration bail, or has your UK visa application just been rejected as invalid? Do not panic—there is a legal pathway forward.
In this video, we break down exactly how an employer can still assign a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to an individual whose permission has expired. We dive deep into the recent Home Office updates regarding Suitability 13.1 (formerly Section 39E) and how immigration bail has been brought into this protection.
You will learn about the critical 14-day window following a "problem event"—like a refusal or being placed on bail—which allows you to file a valid out-of-time application. We also explain why digital Share Code checks will fail during this period and what HR departments must do instead to verify status. Finally, we reveal how our priority slot service is helping employers get CoS requests reviewed in just 5 working days for a £350 Home Office fee!
