Private Intake Call
For route fit and first-step recommendation.
- Client profile review
- Deadline and risk snapshot
- Suggested next service
Start with a focused £99 intake, then move into deeper planning only when the case needs it.
For route fit and first-step recommendation.
For families, professionals and complex choices.
For application or settlement preparation.
A good first step should be narrow enough to be useful and honest enough to say when the matter needs more. The comparison below shows what each level covers before you pay.
| Paid step | Client decision | What you receive | Not included at this level | Upgrade trigger |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Intake Call | Which route or first step appears sensible? | Route snapshot, urgency view, risk flags and service recommendation | Document bundle review, application drafting or legal representation | Several routes, family members, sponsor action or document issues need comparison |
| Strategy Session | Which route should the client rely on and why? | Route comparison, evidence map, timeline view and practical next-step plan | Full document checking, submission preparation or representative advice | The chosen route needs readiness review, employer checks or evidence build |
| Readiness Review | Is the evidence coherent enough before application preparation? | Gap list, consistency notes, priority fixes and submission-readiness concerns | Outcome guarantee, legal representation or appeal work | Refusal risk, status issue or regulated advice boundary appears |
| Settlement Plan | Is ILR or citizenship timing realistic? | Absence, residence, route continuity, good character and timing plan | Formal legal opinion or application representation | Historic gaps, heavy travel, disclosure issue or family timing needs deeper review |
| Business Sponsorship Advisory | Can the employer sponsor or retain talent safely? | Licence, CoS, role, salary, candidate status and operational readiness view | Full HR audit, sponsor management or regulated representation | The business needs licence preparation, compliance review or urgent candidate planning |
| Referral Triage | Should this move to an authorised adviser or solicitor? | Boundary note, issue summary and suggested referral direction | Regulated legal advice delivered by UKIMMI | Appeal, asylum, overstaying, enforcement or representation need is present |
The first step is intentionally accessible. More complex matters are scoped after the facts, deadlines and evidence burden are understood.
| Situation | Suggested starting point | Why this level | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| You are not sure which UK route fits | £99 Private Intake Call | Enough to identify likely routes, urgency and whether deeper support is worthwhile | Strategy Session if routes need comparison |
| Several routes could apply | £249 Strategy Session | Route choice affects cost, timing, work rights, family members and settlement | Readiness Review or custom plan |
| You are close to applying or renewing | From £399 Readiness Review | Document gaps and consistency problems are more important than general route information | Evidence build or legal referral |
| You are approaching ILR or citizenship | From £799 Settlement Plan | Historic absences, address records, route continuity and good character need early review | Submission readiness review |
| There is refusal, overstaying, asylum or appeal risk | Referral triage | Regulated legal advice or representation may be required | Authorised adviser or solicitor |
Most clients are not paying for time alone. They are paying for the number of routes, people, documents and deadlines that must be checked before the next decision is safe enough to rely on.
A short intake can be enough when the question is narrow: whether the route appears realistic, what is urgent and what to do next.
The price rises when work, family, study, business or settlement choices need to be compared before the client commits.
Income, relationship, travel, sponsor or historic records can move the matter from advice into readiness review.
Partners, children, dependants, schools and future settlement plans usually require more careful sequencing.
Sponsor licence, CoS, role, salary and HR process add operational risk beyond the applicant’s own facts.
Refusals, appeals, overstaying, asylum or serious status issues should be triaged before any ordinary planning package is sold.
The intake call gives you an initial view of route fit, urgency and likely next steps before you commit to wider support.
The first step is accessible while still giving enough structure for a useful review.
The call identifies whether the matter needs strategy, document review, settlement planning or referral.
Any next service should be based on your case, deadline and evidence needs.
If the basic dates, current status, employer position or family facts are missing, a paid call may spend too much time reconstructing the situation. Use the assessment form first and keep the facts concise.
| If this is missing | Prepare this first | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Visa expiry or current status | Exact visa type, expiry date and whether an application is pending | Most route choices depend on timing and lawful status |
| Employer sponsor position | Licence status, role, salary, start date and whether CoS has been discussed | A job offer alone does not show sponsorship is usable |
| Family route facts | Relationship status, location of each person, income route and accommodation | Family evidence depends on the route and application location |
| Settlement history | Visa history, travel records, address history and expected ILR date | Settlement review is only useful when the timeline can be reconstructed |
| Refusal information | Decision letter, date, deadline and current status | The next step may be referral rather than another ordinary application |
The deliverables page explains what a client should expect to receive from each paid step.
Once you have identified a route, deadline or evidence concern, the next step is to match it to the level of review it needs.
