Your company accounts are now part of your sponsor licence application.

On 6 March 2026, the Home Office quietly replaced the "genuine vacancy" test with a broader "eligible role" requirement — and for the first time, your organisation's finances are explicitly part of the assessment. If a sponsored salary doesn't look commensurate with your turnover, and you can't explain how it's sustainably funded, that's now a standalone ground for refusal or revocation.
It gets sharper: since April 2026, the Home Office has direct access to HMRC payroll data for every sponsor licence holder — cross-checking actual pay against what's declared on each Certificate of Sponsorship. And the bar for opening a compliance check has dropped to "reasonable suspicion," not proof.

Judges Out, Adjudicators In: What the Immigration and Asylum Bill 2026 Really Changes
Your next immigration appeal might not be heard by a judge.
The Immigration and Asylum Bill 2026 passed its Second Reading on 13 July 2026 (264–90). It would replace the First-tier Tribunal with a new Independent Immigration Appeals Authority — where adjudicators, not legally qualified judges, decide first-instance appeals.
Line-by-line committee scrutiny begins 10 September 2026. It’s not law yet, but the direction of travel is now clear — and with 150,000+ people already waiting over a year for an appeal decision, this is a Bill worth watching closely.
Swipe through for what’s confirmed, what’s still being scrutinised, and what it means for anyone with a live or upcoming appeal →

Your Nikah Might Not Be a Legal Marriage in the UK
A common gap in understanding — and one with real consequences if a spouse visa is on the horizon.
A nikah is religiously binding, but under the Marriage Act 1949 it only counts legally if it’s held in a registered venue with an authorised person present. Most UK mosques don’t hold that registration — which means most couples need a separate civil ceremony to actually be married in the eyes of UK law.
It gets more involved when one partner is on a visa: both of you have to give notice together, and the standard 29-day wait can stretch to 70 if the case is referred to the Home Office. Skip the civil ceremony, and there’s no marriage certificate UKVI will accept for a spouse visa application — regardless of how long you’ve lived as husband and wife.
Swipe through for what actually needs to happen, and when.
Save this for anyone planning a nikah where one partner isn’t a British or settled citizen. 📌

Settlement Just Got Harder. Sponsorship Just Got Riskier.

Two immigration stories collided this week — and both matter if you’re sponsoring or being sponsored.
The Home Secretary has formally tabled the Earned Settlement reform in Parliament: the standard ILR wait doubles from 5 to 10 years, stretching to 15 for low-paid workers and 20 for those on benefits. Meanwhile, fresh Home Office data show 4,403 sponsor licences were revoked in the past 12 months — the highest total since the sponsored worker system began.
Swipe through for what’s actually changed, and what it means whether you’re a sponsor, a worker, or on the path to settlement.
Save this for reference — the details matter more than ever. 📌

The Right to Work Shake-Up Isn’t Just a Risk — It’s a Head Start

Most businesses will spend October scrambling. The compliant few will spend it winning contracts.
From 1 October 2026, “employer” gets a wider definition under the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act 2025 — pulling agency staff, subcontractors and gig workers into scope for right to work checks.
Clients are already starting to ask suppliers to prove compliance before signing. Documented processes are becoming a tender differentiator, not just a box to tick.
Swipe for the three moves that turn this into a head start.

Your right to bring your family isn't a feature of your Skilled Worker visa anymore — for most roles, it's inherited from a cut-off date, and it doesn't come back once lost.
Since 22 July 2025, only degree-level (RQF Level 6+) Skilled Worker roles carry automatic dependant rights. Below that skill level, family joining rights survive only through transitional protection — continuous permission held since before 11 March 2024 for care workers, or 22 July 2025 for other medium-skilled roles. New sponsorship under the Temporary Shortage List or Immigration Salary List carries no dependant rights at all, regardless of how long it's held.
The trap: it's continuous permission, not continuous employment, that matters. A lapsed renewal, a switch to a new medium-skilled role, or time spent on another visa category can end transitional protection permanently — even after years of unbroken residence.
Swipe through for the exact cut-off dates, what breaks the chain, and how to protect it before you renew or switch roles →
