Dealing with the Home Office
Understanding your rights and options in the UK Immigration system
Dealing with the Home Office can be a stressful situation for any company or individual
If a company is not compliant with current UK immigration legislation and its duties as a sponsor, it could potentially lose its sponsor licence and be fined up to £60,000 per illegal worker. For any individual receiving a refusal from the Home Office it can be a very scary and stressful experience, for both you and your loved ones.
So whether you are in the midst of a Home Office investigation, thinking of challenging a decision, or would like to ensure you are compliant with all the requirements, we can help. We have specialist experience across the full range of Home Office applications for companies and individuals.
We regularly engage with Home Office policy makers and actively lobby for our clients’ interests. In addition, our day-to-day contacts across the Home Office enable us to resolve issues, seek clarification in complex applications and help secure timely resolution of cases.
If an application has been refused and you have a right of appeal from inside or outside the UK, we can help with every step of the process. From ensuring your appeal is lodged on time and with strong grounds of appeal through to preparation for and representation at the hearing. Where we can, we will see if there is any way to resolve your matter before we get to the tribunal.
We will also help to ensure that such problems do not arise in the first place. For companies that can include reviewing your current recruitment and HR policies, systems and practices to ensure you are Home Office compliant and identifying any areas for improvement.
