This page identifies the public process and questions to check. It cannot confirm a deadline, preserve immigration status or determine the correct remedy for an individual case.
Start here
Four immediate checks
- 1
Keep the termination and sponsor communications
- 2
Check the last working date and immigration status
- 3
Do not assume curtailment has already started
- 4
Explore lawful next steps before any deadline
Keep control of the facts
Build a reliable record
Keep the complete decision, application, status record, correspondence and dates together. Use the current official page rather than screenshots or social-media summaries.
Avoid preventable harm
Important risks
- Employment notice and immigration permission are different issues
- A new sponsor normally requires a new application
- Dependants can also be affected
Official starting point
Open the current government process
Know when a guide is no longer enough
Eligibility assessments, evidence reviews, application preparation and representation should be handled by a suitably regulated professional.
