Who we are and what we do

2.1 We are an immigration consulting practice focused on individuals and families. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal representation. Where local law requires representation by a regulated adviser (e.g. OISC/SRA in the UK or licensed attorneys elsewhere), we coordinate with licensed local counsel who will be engaged under their own terms.
2.2 We are not affiliated with any government or immigration authority (e.g. UKVI / Home Office, USCIS, IRCC, embassies). We do not influence officers or expedite decisions outside published programmes.
A.

Part A: Website Terms

3. Use of the site. Use the site lawfully, for its intended purpose, and in accordance with these Terms. Do not attempt security testing, scraping, reverse engineering, or any activity that harms the site or users. Where an account is offered, keep credentials confidential, you are responsible for activity under your account.

4. Information on the site. Site content is general information for guidance only. It is not legal advice or a guarantee of outcome. Rules change frequently and may vary by country and personal circumstances. We try to keep content accurate but do not promise completeness, timeliness, or error-free material.

5. User content. If you upload or submit content you promise you have the right to share it and that it is accurate and lawful. You grant us a limited licence to store and process that content to operate the site and deliver requested services. See our Privacy Policy for details.

6. Intellectual property. The site, branding, text, graphics, and templates are owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy, sell, or reuse any part without permission. You may download materials we provide for your personal, non-commercial use related to your immigration matter.

7. Third-party links. The site may link to third parties. We do not control or endorse their content or practices. Use them at your discretion.

B.

Part B: Services Terms

8. Engagement process. An engagement begins when you accept a written proposal, letter of engagement, email quote, or online checkout that references these Terms, and you pay any initial invoice or retainer. The specific scope, timelines, deliverables, and fees for your matter will appear in the engagement documents. If there is a conflict, the engagement document prevails over these Terms.

9. Our role. We provide immigration consulting and coordination services which may include eligibility assessments, strategy, document checklists, templates, form completion, submissions where allowed, appointment scheduling, interview preparation, status tracking, and post-decision guidance. If representation by a regulated professional is required by law, we will introduce licensed local counsel. You will contract with counsel directly and pay their fees separately unless our engagement states otherwise. We remain your day-to-day point of contact unless agreed differently.

10. Your responsibilities. You agree to:

  • provide complete and accurate information and documents in a timely manner;
  • tell us promptly about changes, travel plans, or deadlines;
  • review drafts, approve filings, and attend appointments;
  • pay our invoices and third-party fees that are your responsibility;
  • comply with laws and instructions of government authorities;
  • keep copies of all documents you submit and receive.
11. No guarantees. We do not guarantee approvals, processing times, interview outcomes, or entry at a border. Decisions rest with government authorities. Timelines we share are estimates based on current information and may change without notice.

12. Fees, expenses, and taxes. Our fees are usually stage-based and will be listed in your engagement. We may request a retainer that we draw down against future work. Government fees, visa centre charges, medicals, police checks, translations, courier, travel, evaluations, and counsel fees are not included unless stated. You pay these directly where possible. Prices are shown before taxes unless stated. Invoices are due upon receipt unless the invoice states a due date. Late balances may incur interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate allowed by law. We may pause work for overdue invoices. Unless stated otherwise, charges are in GBP and payable via the methods listed on your invoice. Bank charges and FX costs are your responsibility.

C.

Part C: General Legal Terms

13. Privacy. Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the site or services you acknowledge that policy. If we appoint an EU representative or UK representative, their details will appear there.

14. Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims arising out of or related to the site or services will not exceed the fees you paid to us for the services giving rise to the claim during the 12 months before the event. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, loss of profits, loss of business, or loss of data. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

15. Governing law and disputes. If your engagement letter specifies governing law and forum, that clause controls. If not, for all clients contracting with our UK entity, the law of England & Wales governs and the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction. Consumers may have mandatory rights under local law that override parts of this section. Before filing a claim, each party will attempt good-faith resolution for at least 30 days after written notice of the dispute.
