Instructional guides for making UK visa applications
Why use these visa application guides?
All visa application guides are written by former UKVI staff, with extensive experience as immigration caseworkers, and subsequently, as professional immigration advisers registered with the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA).
These guides break down the immigration rules into plain English requirements, and highlight the practical considerations for your application type.
But more uniquely, these guides and templates offer an insight into how applications are considered and assessed from the point of view of UKVI caseworkers.
