Using Our Guides
Read each immigration guide in its proper context
Immigration articles provide a useful starting point, but the correct action depends on current requirements and the facts of each individual matter.
Check the publication date
Immigration rules, official guidance, fees and application procedures may change after publication.
Review all requirements
A general guide cannot include every eligibility requirement, exception or supporting document.
Read decisions completely
Application notices, decision letters and official instructions should be reviewed in full.
Consider your circumstances
Immigration history, current status, travel and deadlines can affect the appropriate next step.
News and guides provide general information
They should not be treated as immigration advice
specifically tailored to an application, refusal or
important deadline.

Advice for Your Circumstances
Do you need more than general immigration guidance?
Send a brief enquiry about your immigration position, intended outcome and any important deadline. You can then be guided towards the most appropriate next step for your circumstances.
Take the next practical step
Provide a concise summary and identify any visa expiry, refusal, appeal, review or other important deadline.
An initial enquiry only needs a clear written summary.
Do not send original documents unless specifically requested.
