Overview

Plenty of people prepare their own applications successfully. The risk is not usually that they misunderstand their own situation — it is the specified evidence rules, which are technical, unforgiving, and not obvious from the guidance.

A bank statement that proves the point but is missing a required element. A document supplied without the required translation. Payslips covering the right income but the wrong period. Evidence that satisfies the substance of a requirement but not its prescribed form. These are the errors that produce refusals in cases that should have succeeded, and they cost the full application fee to discover.

This service exists for that gap. You do the work; we check it against the requirements before you commit.

Who It Is For

  • Applicants preparing their own applications who want assurance before submitting
  • People who are confident about their eligibility but unsure about the evidence rules
  • Anyone applying under a route with strict specified evidence requirements
  • Applicants who have been refused before on evidential grounds and do not want to repeat it

What Is Included

  • Review of your completed application form for errors and inconsistencies
  • Assessment of your supporting evidence against the specified evidence requirements for your route
  • Identification of missing documents, documents in the wrong format, and gaps in date coverage
  • Comments on your covering letter or personal statement, where you have one
  • A written summary of what needs to change before submission

How It Works

  1. Scope agreed based on your route and the volume of evidence.
  2. You send your draft application and evidence.
  3. We review against the current requirements for your route.
  4. You receive a written summary of issues and recommended changes.
  5. You submit, with the option to instruct us fully if the review reveals more than expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. In this service you remain responsible for the application and the submission, and we review what you have prepared.

Full representation is a different service, where we prepare the application, draft legal submissions and correspond with the Home Office on your behalf.

We tell you plainly. Sometimes a review reveals that the route itself is wrong, or that a requirement cannot currently be met.

That is difficult to hear but far better discovered before submission than after. You can then decide whether to address the issue, change route, or instruct us fully.

No, and we would not claim otherwise. Immigration decisions involve judgment, and no adviser can guarantee an outcome.

What this service does is remove the avoidable errors, which is where a large share of refusals originate.

Yes. The service is available for both UK and US applications, though the requirements and the common pitfalls differ considerably between the two systems.

It depends on the route and how much evidence there is. We agree a timescale when we agree scope.

If you have a deadline, tell us at the outset.
