Immigration and Visa Applications Editing and Proofreading Services

An application arrives with sixty-eight documents in one folder, in no order, some in translation and some not. The caseworker has a list of requirements and a fixed time. They will look for each requirement, and anything they cannot find within a few seconds is treated as not supplied — which is how a complete application gets refused for missing evidence that was on page forty-one.

We edit immigration and visa applications and their supporting material — evidence indexes and document schedules, covering and representation letters, personal statements and relationship histories, employer and sponsor letters, financial and accommodation evidence summaries, explanations of gaps or adverse history, and appeal and reconsideration submissions. Our editors work on documents read against a checklist by somebody with no time.

The evidence index is the difference between a complete application and one that appears incomplete, and its failure is a bundle of documents with no map. A caseworker does not hunt. We work through these so every requirement is listed in the order the official guidance lists it, with the document that satisfies it and its page number, since matching the guidance's own order and language means the caseworker is ticking rather than searching; so each entry says what the document proves rather than what it is, because "bank statement, page 12" is a file and "shows the balance held for 31 consecutive days, page 12, highlighted" is evidence; so anything highlighted or tabbed in the paper bundle is described the same way in the index; so translations are paired with their originals and the translator's certification is pointed to, given that an uncertified translation can invalidate the document it explains; so a requirement that cannot be met is addressed openly with what is offered instead and why, as a caseworker who finds a silent gap refuses and a caseworker who finds an explanation may exercise discretion; so dates are checked against each other across every document, since inconsistency between two of your own documents is the commonest reason for a refusal on credibility; so nothing is included that was not asked for, because volume works against the applicant; and so the index is one page. Applications assembled this way get decided on their merits.

Everything you send is treated in confidence, including immigration history, financial records, relationship evidence and material about refusals. We are editors rather than immigration advisers or lawyers, and we give no immigration advice and no view on eligibility, evidence or any application. What we can do is make sure the caseworker finds what you have sent.
