Expanded Priority Service Hours and Increased Slots for Sponsors
The Home Office has implemented significant improvements to its Post-Licence Priority Service, aimed at addressing challenges faced by sponsors in accessing urgent requirements to their sponsorship arrangements.
These enhancements include an increase in daily slots to 100 and extended operating hours, ensuring the service is more accessible than ever.
Previously, limited availability and a narrow submission window left many sponsors unable to secure a place in the service, causing delays in processing time-sensitive amendments. With these updates, the priority service now operates Monday to Friday, from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, offering an extended timeframe for applications. The increase in daily slots to 100 further alleviates capacity issues, reducing the likelihood of missing out due to high demand.
These changes are designed to support organisations needing to address urgent sponsorship amendments, such as changes to Certificates of Sponsorship, key personnel updates, or organisational details. The increased availability of the service means sponsors can now plan their applications with greater confidence and efficiency, without the frustrations caused by limited access in the past.
At Sterling Law, we are committed to helping sponsors make the most of these improvements. Our team is ready to guide you through the updated process and ensure your priority applications are handled effectively. Contact us today for expert assistance.
