Setting the Benchmark:
Main Points
-
Priority Service helps sponsors fast-track Home Office decisions on CoS allocation
and other licence changes -
No win, no fee — you only pay our £299 service fee once the Home Office accepts
your request -
Our main focus is additional (in-year) CoS allocation requests
-
We also handle priority requests for annual CoS allocation, Level 1 user changes, AO/KC replacements, representative appointments, and address updates
-
You must have already submitted your change request via the Sponsor Management
System (SMS) before we can act -
The Home Office does not guarantee approval — acceptance depends on eligibility
and daily processing limits -
Once accepted, the Home Office's own £350 payment link must be used within 72 hours
-
Eligible requests are typically considered within 5 working days of Home Office payment
Need a faster decision on your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) allocation, or another change to your sponsor licence? Our Priority Service helps UK sponsors access the Home Office's official priority processing route — the Worker and Temporary Worker Priority Change of Circumstances Service — at no upfront cost to you.
