Submission of an enquiry does not create a client relationship or confirm that VIZ Global can act. Urgent refusals, sponsor action or litigation-related matters should include the decision date and any known deadline.

When to Seek Immediate Advice

Some decisions create urgent legal and commercial risk.

The available response may depend on the type of decision, date of service, existing immigration position and any applicable legal deadline.

01

Sponsor Licence Suspended

The business has received compliance allegations and has been invited to respond before further action is taken.

02

Licence Revoked

Sponsorship permission has been withdrawn, potentially affecting sponsored workers and business operations.

03

Application Refused

A founder, worker, senior leader or dependant has received an adverse immigration decision.

04

Administrative Review Deadline

A potentially eligible decision must be assessed promptly to identify caseworking errors and the correct remedy.

05

Home Office Inaction

Prolonged delay or failure to act is causing significant immigration, operational or commercial consequences.

06

Unlawful Decision-Making

There may be an arguable failure to follow the law, published policy, procedural fairness or relevant evidence.

Do not wait for the commercial consequences to become irreversible.

Provide the full decision, date received, Home Office reference and any deadline in the initial enquiry.

Sponsor Licence Disputes

Protect the licence that supports your workforce.

Sponsor action can affect recruitment, sponsored workers, reputation and operational continuity. The response should address both the legal allegations and the underlying compliance position.

A persuasive response requires more than denying the allegations.
02 Compliance Action

Sponsor Licence Suspension

Analyse each allegation, prepare supporting evidence and present corrective action where appropriate.

03 Licence Loss

04 Home Office Inspection

Compliance Visit Findings

Review interview records, personnel files, reporting history and alleged failures identified during an inspection.

Preserve the decision, correspondence, audit records, sponsored worker files and relevant HR evidence as soon as action is received.

Request a Sponsor Dispute Review →
Refusals & Administrative Review

Identify the error before choosing the remedy.

A refusal should be examined against the application, supporting evidence, relevant rules, guidance and reasons given by the decision-maker.

01

Founder Visa Refusals

Review endorsement evidence, business documents, credibility findings and the legal basis of refusal.

02

Skilled Worker Refusals

Examine sponsorship, role, salary, eligibility, evidence and any alleged suitability issue.

03

Global Mobility Refusals

Assess corporate relationships, overseas employment, sponsorship and assignment evidence.

04

Dependant Refusals

Review relationship, dependency, maintenance and consequential decision-making affecting family members.

Public-Law Challenges

Challenge unlawful decision-making through the correct legal route.

A public-law challenge considers the legality, fairness and reasoning of the decision-making process rather than simply asking whether a different outcome would have been preferable.

01 Pre-Litigation Stage

Pre-Action Protocol

A focused pre-action letter may be used, where appropriate, to identify the challenged decision, legal errors, relevant evidence and remedy sought before proceedings.

  • Identify the decision under challenge
  • Set out arguable public-law errors
  • Explain urgency and commercial impact
  • Request a defined remedy
  • Preserve the client’s litigation position
Explore Pre-Action Protocol →
02 Court or Tribunal Proceedings

Judicial Review

Judicial Review may be considered where there is an arguable challenge to the lawfulness of a decision, procedure, policy application or failure to act.

  • Legality and jurisdiction
  • Procedural fairness
  • Relevant and irrelevant considerations
  • Reasoning and rationality
  • Delay or failure to make a decision
Explore Judicial Review →

Litigation requires specialist assessment of merits, timing, forum, procedure and costs.

Where necessary, VIZ Global coordinates with appropriately authorised litigation representatives, barristers and other specialist counsel.

Evidence & Case Assessment

A reliable strategy begins with the complete record.

Complex matters should be assessed using the decision, application history, evidence submitted, correspondence, compliance records and relevant deadlines.

01

Decision & Deadline

The complete decision, date received, method of service and any stated review or challenge deadline.

02

Original Application

Forms, representations, supporting documents, sponsorship records and evidence originally submitted.

03

Home Office Correspondence

Requests for information, interview records, compliance correspondence and previous responses.

04

Commercial Impact

Evidence of affected workers, contracts, operations, recruitment, investment or wider business consequences.

Do not upload highly sensitive documents through an ordinary public contact form. Following the initial review, VIZ Global should provide a secure document channel where appropriate.

Strategic Case Process

From urgent triage to focused legal action.

The process is designed to identify deadlines, preserve the evidence and select the appropriate remedy before unnecessary steps are taken.

01 Urgency

Triage

Identify the decision, service date, legal deadline and immediate immigration or business consequences.

02 Record

Review

Examine the decision, application, correspondence, evidence, compliance history and relevant chronology.

03 Legal Analysis

Assess

Identify arguable errors, available remedies, procedural requirements, merits and material risks.

04 Representation

Respond

Prepare the appropriate response, review grounds, pre-action correspondence or litigation materials.

05 Continuity

Protect

Coordinate the legal response with employee, sponsor, operational and future compliance planning.

The strongest challenge is focused on material errors and supported by the complete record.

The appropriate strategy may be a response, review, reconsideration request, fresh application, pre-action letter or litigation. It depends on the decision and available legal remedy.

Urgent Complex Matter Assessment

Do not let a critical deadline pass without understanding your options.

Request a confidential assessment of a sponsor licence dispute, visa refusal, Administrative Review, Pre-Action Protocol or potential Judicial Review matter.

Begin an Urgent Enquiry

Tell us what decision has been made and when.
