Please be aware that we are unable to complete any application checks during the Christmas period or before the end of the year. Our office will reopen on 2 January 2025, and we will resume services from that date.
What is the Application Checking Service?
This service is designed to provide you with peace of mind and expert guidance on a range of applications (see FAQs). If you can prepare your draft application, cover letter and supporting evidence yourself, but want reassurance that everything is in order, this service is just what you need.
Book your check, upload your documents and any questions you want answered. Our immigration lawyers will review your application, addressing concerns with written feedback so you can proceed with confidence knowing that your application is ready.
Please note, from 1 January 2025, our prices will be changing.
Our accessible online legal advice services, set up in partnership with Free Movement, have maintained the same pricing since 2016 while ensuring high-quality legal advice. In light of the current economic climate, we must now adjust our prices for our Video Consultations and Application Checks to continue providing the exceptional service you expect.
Thank you for your understanding.

Why get an application check?
To be successful in your application, you will need to meet specific requirements. These requirements may not be easy to identify or satisfy depending on your circumstances.
Our immigration lawyers do these checks on your behalf and offer you feedback based on our experience of successful applications.
If you are unsure which application to use, how to complete it, or what evidence to include, then you should consider our Personal Legal Representation service so we can support you from start to finish.
What will you receive?
In 5 – 10 working days, we will provide a written report. This will outline the requirements of your application and guide you on how you have satisfied those requirements in your draft application, cover letter and supporting evidence. We also assess the chances of success and address your questions.
If the report explains you need to make substantial changes to improve your chances of success, you can make these changes and have your application re-checked for peace of mind using a 50% discount.
Our advice is clear, transparent, and easy to follow.
Application checking FAQs
-
What types of Home Office applications do you check?
We check a variety of immigration applications for individuals. This includes, British Citizenship and Naturalisation, Partner or Spouse entry clearance and extension visas, Indefinite Leave to Remain, EU Settlement Pre-settled to Settled and the Graduate visa.
We check one application per purchase.
Due to their complexity, this service does not include other applications including EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit applications, other family applications, asylum applications or applications for a business. These applications may require detailed legal assistance to give you the best chance of success. For these applications, we would be pleased to assist you through our Personal Legal Representation Service or Business Legal Representation service.

Will I receive advice on how to prepare my application before I submit it to you?
This service is only suitable if you can prepare a draft application and identify the relevant supporting evidence yourself. If you can do this, then you will receive the most benefit from using this service. If you are experiencing difficulties identifying the right application, how to complete it, or you are not sure what evidence to include, then we recommend booking our online consultation first so we can advise you on how to start the process.
-
How do I send my documents?
After booking the service, you will receive a confirmation email from Seraphus with instructions for sending your draft application and supporting documents. You will need to identify the correct visa application on the government website, complete the answers, use the ‘save for later’ function and download your draft PDF application. It is important you do not submit your application. When you are ready, you can send us your draft PDF application, supporting documents and any queries you have about your application by following the instructions in your confirmation email.
-
Can I receive further advice after receiving your report on my application?
The application checking service is a limited service whereby Seraphus will review the documents you have uploaded and provide one written advice containing actionable feedback on how to improve the application. The written advice will also detail any problems you may have with your application, the chances of success, and how to address any resolvable issues. This service does not include answering further questions about your application and it is your responsibility to ensure you meet the requirements set out by the Home Office and that you follow our written advice. If you would like to discuss your application further, you can book a Video Consultation. If you need more guidance and support, we recommend you consider booking the Legal Representation service for full advice and support with your application.

The process took about 5 months from my initial contact to the application being submitted, during which a number of case workers assisted me with this. All were very professional and knowledgably in this field, providing me with good legal advice on how to proceed with my application.
