The independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, John Vine, is resigning from his post.
Mr Vine had been due to step down in July 2015 when his term ended but will now leave on 31 December this year.
He will have been in the role for six years by the time he leaves.
Mr Vine said he was "immensely proud of establishing [the] inspectorate from scratch" which had been "a catalyst for significant change".
He will publish his final annual report in December for 2013/14, one of more than 50 inspection reports. He has also made almost 500 recommendations during his time in the post.
The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the Home Office had changed the timing of the publication of his reports - which have been highly critical of the way in which the UK's immigration and asylum system is operating.
Previously they were released at midnight, ensuring more media coverage, but now they are published during the day.
Terrorist alertsMr Vine said: "I have raised my concerns with the change in publication processes with the home secretary and the Home Affairs Committee previously, but this is not the reason I have decided to resign.
"I believe the time is right for me to move on and seek a fresh challenge,
"By announcing my resignation early I want to give the home secretary enough time to appoint a successor and ensure a smooth transition of arrangements," he said.
"Leaving at the end of the year and before the next general election, rather than in July 2015 when my term is due to end, makes sense."
Mr Vine had previously agreed two extensions to his original term of office.
In October 2013 he said the Home Office's multi-million pound e-borders scheme had failed to meet its promises.
He said staff at airports were not meeting those with terrorist alerts against them on arrival, and "not one person" had been stopped boarding a plane to the UK.
In June he told MPs that immigration officials did not know the true scale of the problem of sham marriages in the UK and that it represented "one of the biggest potential threats to immigration control".
