Visa Application and Document Checking Service | Expert Immigration Advice UK

Submit Your ILR Application with Total Confidence — Reviewed by an Expert Before It's Too Late

Have your completed ILR application and supporting documents professionally assessed by a Senior Immigration Lawyer with 20+ years' experience — and find out exactly what needs to change before you submit.


You've done the hard work. You've gathered your documents, filled in the form and you're almost ready to submit. But something is holding you back.

stressed woman worried about her uk visa application being approved
  • Not 100% sure every answer on your application form is correct?
  • Worried you've included the wrong type of evidence — or forgotten something critical?
  • Frustrated by the vague guidance on the government's website?
  • Overwhelmed by conflicting advice you've found online?


These aren't irrational fears. UK visa/settlement applications are refused every day for reasons that could have been caught and corrected before submission — wrong documents, inconsistent information, missing evidence. Our Checking Service exists to catch those issues before they cost you your visa.

Get Complete Peace of Mind Before You Submit

For a fraction of what you'd pay for full legal representation — which typically costs between £1,800 and £3,500 for a ILR application alone — our Checking Service gives you the eyes of a Senior Immigration Lawyer on your entire application at a fixed, transparent price starting from just £400 (+VAT *where applicable).


You submit everything electronically. Melanie reviews it thoroughly within 3–4 working days and sends you a clear, written report in plain English telling you:


  • What's correct and ready to go
  • What's missing or needs to be obtained before you submit
  • What needs to be corrected or reformatted
  • Where your application could be strengthened
  • Whether, in her professional opinion, your application is in a strong position to be granted

What you get with your Checking Service:


  • Full review of your supporting documents — every item assessed against Home Office requirements for your specific ILR route


  • Application form review — every section checked for accuracy, consistency and completeness (*optional add-on: deduct £50 if you don't need the form reviewed)


  • Written feedback report in plain English — a clear, structured report highlighting what's correct, what needs fixing and what's missing, with specific recommendations (see a sample)


  • Recommendations Likelihood assessment — Melanie's honest professional view on whether your application, as submitted, is in a strong position to succeed


  • Unnecessary document alert — we'll tell you what to remove as well as what to add; irrelevant documents can cause delays and undermine your application


  • Personalised recommendations — specific, actionable guidance on how to strengthen weaker areas of your application
