Yes. The Associated Press in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2013.

The Associated Press is licensed for Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.

Where is The Associated Press based?

The register lists The Associated Press at London. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
