NOTE: All clients are required to complete Service 1.

Service 1 - Immigration Assessment
QUICK CHECK Eligibility Assessment - Your First Step is Free
Before we agree to act for you, we invite you to complete a FREE initial Quick Check Eligibility Assessment. This short Question & Answer form has been prepared by our officially-recognised migration consultants and your responses will give us a brief outline of your emigration intentions and will show whether or not you are eligible to become a client.
You will receive an email response within ONE WORKING DAY and our Personal Relocation Agents may phone you to discuss the next step. For regulatory reasons, our Personal Relocation Agents will not be able to formally advise on your specific immigration case or answer technical visa questions, however they can pass on general introductory information as found in our website and magazines, explain our range of services, and can help you to complete the forms for a comprehensive, paid Full Check Immigration Assessment to be fully reviewed by our officially-recognised migration consultants. Our Personal Relocation Agents can also arrange for your CV/Resume to be sent to our in-country employment experts for an Employment Appraisal to be completed.
FULL CHECK Immigration Assessment
Because immigration regulations can be varied and complex, your visa process should begin with a proper analysis of your personal situation - occupation, family, qualifications, finances, languages etc - so that we can determine the right visa for you and the best way of obtaining it.
A Full Check Immigration Assessment is a confidential information-gathering exercise that will enable our Registered Migration Agents (MARA), Licensed Immigration Advisers (NZIAA), Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (ICCRC) or immigration lawyers to assess your position in relation to existiing official immigration regulations and provide specific immigration advice in writing.
Our fees for Full-Check immigration assessments start at £195 per family unit+.
You will receive;-
 |
A detailed assessment report explaining immigration requirements and the process as it applies to you |
|
An action plan outlining steps for progressing towards your visa. |
|
A list of need-to-know details, such as entry criteria, visa conditions, processing time-frames and approximate costs |
|
A clear breakdown of official application fees and our own fees (which will vary depending on the complexity of your case and/or the particular type of visa for which you are applying). |
|
Further recommendations - if we find that your "case" requires strengthening before you can apply for your visa. |
Please note: Your assessment report will require work by our experienced immigration team to research your various visa options and to report back to you on the most appropriate immigration pathways that apply in your situation. Hence a fee is charged for this service. No guarantees of success can be given.
After receiving your report, our Personal Relocation Agent will be available to go through it and to see if you have any further quick questions for our officially-recognised migration consultants**.
**For New Zealand-bound assessment clients, our IAA Licensed Immigration Advisers can phone you to discuss your report and answer general questions.**
You will be under no obligation to proceed with your visa application. The decision will be entirely up to you. If you wish to proceed, you will move to Service Two - Visa Application stage, and your documents will be requested once a non-refundable sign-on fee has been paid.
Service 2 - Residence Visa Processing
Once you have given instructions to proceed and paid our non-refundable sign-on fee, a Migration Consultant will be assigned to your individual file and they will be responsible for processing your entire residence visa application.
Firstly, your Migration Consultant will request and review your documents and then set out your individual immigration pathway. Depending on what your documents say, some changes in your pathway may occur at this stage so we encourage clients to be as flexible possible.
Your Migration Consultant will supervise the preparation of a fully-documented visa application in accordance with the existing immigration regulations of your chosen country. Submissions to support your application will be promptly integrated and checked for suitability, including the translation, legal-proofing and coordination of important (often time-sensitive) documents such as medical tests, language tests and police reports. Your consultant will also work with you to ensure that your work references, qualification and trades diplomas and evidence of your relationship (where applicable) are presented in the prescribed format.
OFFICIAL QUALIFICATION AND TRADES RECOGNITION
A critical part of the immigration process involves arranging for your qualifications to be officially recognised by the relevant academic or industry assessing body. You will be issued with a locally-recognised certificate that will match your qualification to the equivalent local one and outline it in terms that local employers will understand. It is often vital that you get this stage completed in order to be able to proceed to lodge your residence visa application.
Our Migration Consultants are experienced in the processing of qualification and trades recognition applications with the following and other official bodies: NZQA, TRA, VETASSESS, RPL, ACS, AIM, EEE, etc. They will handle all the paperwork on your behalf as well as the preparation and submission of your application. Your Consultant will liaise with the relevant body to deal with any follow-up questions or practical assessment requests.
Once complete, your visa application will be submitted to the immigration authorities, in the officially-stipulated format. Your Migration Consultant will monitor the progress of your application, liaise with the immigration authorities and respond to any questions raised by the authorities. At every stage in the process, your Consultant will provide written advice and regular progress reports, together with on-going supervision and advancement of your case.
Upon the approval of your application, your Migration Consultant will arrange the issuing of your residence visa and will remain available to provide advice and guidance on your options regarding citizenship and returning residence visas (re-entry visas).
