Contact UKIMMIA 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 more precise the facts, the more useful the first recommendation. You do not need to know the correct route before contacting UKIMMI.
Current visa or status, expiry date, nationality, location and any dependants.
Work, study, sponsor, family move, settlement, citizenship or urgent problem.
Any refusal history, sponsor issue, complex income, travel pattern or deadline pressure.
A good consultation starts with a clear pressure point. If the facts are still vague, the assessment can help decide whether a paid call is useful and which level fits.
You need to choose between routes, decide whether to rely on an employer, prepare family evidence or check settlement timing.
If the current status, expiry date, employer position or refusal deadline is unclear, submit the facts first so the right service can be scoped.
Appeals, asylum, overstaying, enforcement or serious status problems should be triaged before booking ordinary planning support.
The first paid step should not feel like a gamble. These are the questions UKIMMI expects clients to ask before choosing a service.
| Question | Practical answer | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| I only need to know if my plan is possible. Is £99 enough? | Usually yes, if there is one main route and no serious document or legal issue. | Private Intake Call |
| I have two or three possible routes. Which one should I choose? | That needs comparison of timing, cost, family impact, work rights and settlement. | Strategy Session |
| I know the route but worry about documents. | Document consistency, gaps and explanations usually need readiness review. | Readiness Review |
| My employer is involved. | Check licence, CoS, role, salary, timing and HR readiness before relying on the offer. | Business Advisory |
| I have a refusal or status issue. | Do not rush into a standard booking. The matter may need referral triage. | Assessment first |
The guide explains preparation, session structure, expected outputs and professional boundaries.
Once you have identified a route, deadline or evidence concern, the next step is to match it to the level of review it needs.
