APPLYING TO LIVE IN THE UK AS A HIGHLY SKILLED INDIVIDUAL (GLOBAL TALENT)

Before we take on a case we always want to establish what the right kind of application is for you and this is what the Assessment Stage is all about.

We find out more about you and what you want to achieve. It is an informal discussion which can be delivered how you want it, whether that is over the phone, using video conferencing or at our easily accessible office - it is entirely your choice.

This stage is completely free and there is no obligation to take on our paid services. At the end of the Assessment Stage you will have a clear plan as to the range of applications available, the costs involved and how likely you are to get a successful outcome.

The checking service is a reduced cost service and charged at £1,600 (plus VAT in-country). Following the initial consultation the service includes:

• A meeting of up to one hour to identify an appropriate document list;
• Provision of a document list;
• A one time review of the bundle you draft based on our advice;
• A written report on these documents with comments on amendments that would need to be made and a merits assessment of how likely we think an application would be on the basis of that evidence.

Further document reviews would attract £1,000 (plus VAT in-country) per review.

The full service is our flagship case working method for endorsement applications. This is a hands on service where take all the raw evidence that you would like us to review and get involved in creating the evidence bundle with you. It includes as much reviewing and back and forth as is necessary to see the application to completion.
