Lawyers for Skilled Worker visa — sponsor revoked, ILR, CoS | UK
Коротко
If your sponsor lost their licence, you have 60 days to find a new employer or leave. This is not automatic deportation, but the deadline is critical. An immigration solicitor or IAA Level 3 adviser can help you find a new sponsor, switch to a different route or challenge the decision. Below are top-rated lawyers for Skilled Worker, ILR and sponsor revoked cases.
The Skilled Worker visa is the most common route for migrants from Central Asia and Russia. Common problems: sponsor revoked (60-day window), salary threshold changes from 11 March 2024 (£38,700+), extension when changing employer, path to ILR. All these cases require a specialist immigration solicitor.

Steps to take when your sponsor is revoked
- Do not panic — you have 60 days. The Home Office will notify you by letter. From that point you have 60 calendar days to act.
- Contact a solicitor immediately. Initial consultation: £100–300. Explain the sponsor situation.
- Look for a new sponsor in parallel. A solicitor can help with obtaining a CoS from a new employer — this is the fastest route.
- Alternatives: switching to another route (Family, Student, Graduate Route) if there are grounds.
- Do not leave the UK without advice — voluntary departure affects future applications.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if my sponsor loses their Skilled Worker licence?
The Home Office will send a notification. You have 60 calendar days to: find a new licensed sponsor and submit a new CoS, switch to another visa route (Family, Graduate Route, Student) if you have grounds, or leave voluntarily. If you have not received a notification — check your email and post. Contact an immigration solicitor immediately.
Do I need a lawyer for a Skilled Worker visa or can I apply myself?
A standard extension with the same employer can often be done without a lawyer. First application, change of employer, sponsor revoked, refusal, salary threshold questions — these require a solicitor. For applicants from Central Asia with a complex employment history, a lawyer is critical.
How much does a lawyer for a Skilled Worker application cost?
Initial consultation: £100–300. Full new Skilled Worker application: £1,500–3,500. Change of sponsor (CoS transfer): £800–1,500. ILR based on Skilled Worker: £1,000–2,500. Prices vary by city — London is 15–25% more expensive.
What is a CoS and why do I need one from a new sponsor?
A CoS (Certificate of Sponsorship) is a document from a licensed employer confirming a job offer. Without a valid CoS you cannot apply for or extend a Skilled Worker visa. When changing employer, you need a new CoS with a new reference number.
What is the salary threshold for Skilled Worker in 2026?
From 4 April 2024 the general threshold is £38,700/year (or the going rate for the occupation, whichever is higher). Health and education have separate rates. For extensions under 2024+ rules — the same £38,700. Older CoS issued before April 2024 may have transitional arrangements — verify with a solicitor.
