No VAT to pay on any services

This tariff is most suitable if you don’t want the stress of making the application yourself.

We will lead the process by advising you on the legal requirements, how you can meet them, and what documents you need to send to us to evidence this. We will have an open dialogue with you for as long as is required to get your application ready for success.

We will complete the application form on your behalf, and we will review your documents and advise what changes or further documents may be required to maximize success.

We will work with you to ensure all the relevant criteria are met, and flag any areas of risk which we need to address, and how to go about this. 

You will see the draft application before it is finalized, and we will only submit it once you confirm you are happy with everything.

We then upload your documents, and remain on hand to answer any queries or concerns you may have, up until the point you have your visa in your hand.

This tariff is more suitable if you are confident in making the application yourself, but want the assurance of an immigration professional reviewing your application, prior to submission. We will complete the check within 5-working days of receiving all your documents.

We will pre-assess your circumstances with a short questionnaire, to establish the viability of your application. We would then prepare a personalized checklist of documents for you to gather. We will also send you a link for completing the draft application yourself.

Once you have completed the draft application, you can download it as a PDF, and send it to us, along with all the documents in the checklist. You only need to send us electronic copies. We do not accept paper copies or original documents.

You will also send us a list of questions you wish to ask at the consultation. Submitting the questions in advance allows you to focus on the questions you need answering. And it allows us to answer your questions more thoroughly, with reference to the relevant parts of the Immigration Rules.

We will then review all your documents and schedule a video call with you, to go through your application in detail. We will highlight any areas of potential risk and make recommendations for how you can mitigate these risks, or otherwise improve the overall presentation of the application. We will answer all your pre-submitted questions, and you are of course free to ask any further, spontaneous questions you may have about this application or the process.

Once the consultation has finished, we will email you a written report on your application. This report will reflect our discussion, setting out our recommendations for any changes to the application. The report serves as your action plan for tidying up the application prior to submission to the Home Office.

Once we send you the report, the service comes to an end. Unless you have queries about the content of the report, we cannot engage in an ongoing dialogue about the application without incurring further consultation costs.

Therefore, this tariff is suitable only for people who are reasonably confident in making the application themselves, but who want the assurance of a detailed and thorough review from a professional immigration consultant.

Most consultations via the Application Checking Service are concluded in 1-hour. But we allow for up to 2-hours if necessary.

Consultations are helpful if you don’t need the full application service, but just need clarity around specific points or parts of the immigration rules and procedures. Or a longer, more in-depth discussion about your circumstances.

We can answer your questions, and we can look at a small selection of documents if by doing so it will help to answer your specific questions. But consultations are not intended as a check of the whole application as it would not be economically viable for us to do so. Therefore, we will not look over a whole application or review a whole set of supporting documents at a consultation. The application checking service is available for this, and this is a separate tariff.

For the consultation, we would ask you to pre-submit your list of questions in writing. We would then answer the questions as fully, and deliver these answers to you via audio or video call. Pre-submitting the questions allows us time to double-check the rules on the areas you are interested in, and this in turn makes the consultation more focused and more informative.

You can of course still ask spontaneous questions at the consultation. And I understand that very often you will not know what questions to ask, until you understand more about the visa route you are asking about.

The duration of the consultation is 1-hour. But if you feel your questions are answered after a shorter time, we can terminate the call. Equally, if we overrun, I would not terminate the call until all your pre-submitted questions are answered. Up to a maximum of 1.5 hours.
