Our Testimonials
Our Testimonials
This firm can only be described as excellent. Their knowledge of immigration law is second to none. The fast efficient way that they deal with situations is first-class professionalism at its very best. Once you have used Jay and his team you will never use anyone else.
Jay Moghal of Rove Legal is extremely professional and has deep and impressive knowledge of all aspects of immigration law and procedure. He is creative and a great communicator, fierce and energising, encouraging the pursuit of his clients’ cases with impeccable judgement. I would not hesitate to recommend Jay. His knowledge and professionalism shines through in every event.
Jay and his team assisted with switching over from a student BRP to a spousal one. All I had to do was show up to my appointment and take my fingerprints/photos. They handled the rest! What a dream.
Rove Legal were an absolute dream to deal with. Jay Moghal was our appointed lawyer and he was excellent to deal with. He ensured we submitted all of the required documents and when our application was delayed with COVID challenges he chased the UK Government to expedite the issue and ensure a successful outcome. Highly recommend Rove Legal and Jay to anyone who needs immigration to support.
Highly recommended. Jay is a thorough professional, who reviewed the case in depth, looked after all the aspects and his suggestions on what I should submit with the case were spot on. I don’t think my case would have been accepted without his help.
I had a very good experience with Mr Jay Moghal. I faced a couple of problems and appreciate his professionalism and transparency to deal with my issues and solve the problem. I highly recommend him.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sponsor Licence?
The exact processing time of your sponsor licence is deepened on a number of factors. However, you’ll often receive a decision from Home Office with 8 weeks of your application submission date. Bear in mind Home Office may decide to conduct a compliance visit prior to issuing of the licence decision. In that case expect your time frame to increase to up to 12 weeks.Â
What type of licence should I apply for?
The processing time for your licence hinges on the type of worker you intend to sponsor. You have two main options:
- Worker Licence: This allows you to sponsor individuals in various skilled roles for different durations.
- Temporary Worker Licence: Designed for specific employment types, including volunteering and for roles in the creative or sporting industry.

Both licence categories offer further subcategories. If you need guidance in navigating these options, feel free to reach out for support.
