Common questions before choosing an immigration service.

No. Many clients start with an objective rather than a route name. The assessment helps identify which routes should be compared and what level of support is sensible.

No. It is a paid diagnostic and route-planning entry point. If regulated legal advice or representation is required, UKIMMI can identify that need and recommend referral to an authorised adviser or solicitor.

GOV.UK explains rules generally. A professional review applies route requirements to your dates, evidence, family circumstances, sponsor position and long-term objective.

UKIMMI can triage urgent or complex cases and identify whether the next step is strategy, document review, settlement planning or legal referral.

Your enquiry is reviewed by profile, objective, deadline and risk. The recommended next step is usually a private intake call, strategy session, readiness review or referral.

Prepare your current visa or status, expiry date, nationality, location, family members, target outcome, sponsor or employer details, and any refusal or deadline documents.

If there is one main question, no refusal or status issue that needs legal advice, and you mainly need a first view of route fit and urgency, the £99 intake is usually the sensible starting point. If several routes, family members, employer action or document issues need comparison, a strategy session or readiness review may be more useful.

Yes, if you can explain the basic facts clearly. For first triage, dates, status, objective, family members, employer position and known risks are more useful than a large bundle of documents.

Sometimes, but only after the route and scope are clear. A document review is useful when the question is whether the evidence is coherent. If the route itself is uncertain, strategy should come first.

That helps, but UKIMMI still checks whether the route fits the objective, timing, family position, evidence and future settlement plan. Clients sometimes ask for one visa when a different route is safer or more practical.

Yes. The first step should be proportionate. If a short intake is enough, the recommendation should not push a larger package. If the matter needs authorised legal advice, referral should be made clear.

Yes. Employer and business enquiries can be reviewed for sponsor licence readiness, Skilled Worker viability, CoS timing, salary and role checks, and whether regulated legal support is needed.

Those matters may require regulated legal advice or representation. UKIMMI can triage the situation and recommend referral to an authorised adviser or solicitor where appropriate.

Enquiry information is used to review your situation and recommend an appropriate next step. Sensitive matters should be shared through the assessment form only to the extent needed for initial triage.

Yes. The intake call is intended as a focused first step. If the case needs deeper route comparison, document review, settlement planning or referral, the next level can be recommended after triage.

Mention any new job, employer, salary or duty change; employment ending; marriage, separation or child; new passport or nationality; long travel; business restructure; refusal, conviction or status concern. Include the date and who is affected, even if the documents are not organised yet.

No. A useful planning review often starts six to twelve months before a known expiry, especially where sponsorship, family evidence, settlement or several dependants are involved. Review sooner when a material life change or Home Office decision occurs.

Keep a dated history of passports, permissions, application decisions, addresses, travel, employment, sponsor details, family changes and any refusals or status gaps. A short continuous record is usually more reliable than rebuilding several years from memory.

Check the current GOV.UK process for updating your UKVI account or reporting a change of circumstances. Before travel, confirm that the passport you intend to use is linked correctly to your eVisa and that the displayed status is accurate.
