How it works
How we take your application from first call to arrival.
Clear guidance and careful preparation at every stage of your move. Here is what happens at each of the five stops, what you do, and what we do for you.
Stop 01
Consultation
Tell us where you want to go and why: work, study, family, residence, investment or a visit.
We learn what you want to achieve, look at your eligibility and talk through the routes that could fit. Then we explain what our support would involve.
An honest view of whether a route looks open.

Your route plan
We set out the route that fits, the documents you need, our fees and a realistic timeline.
Before any work starts, we set out our fee and what it covers in writing. Where a fee is split into stages, such as planning, documents and submission, each stage is listed.
A written route plan and a written quote for our fee.

- List the evidence you need and who does what
- Set out the government fees and a realistic timeline

You get a checklist made for your case, templates for statements and support letters, and help preparing financial evidence and translations.
We check every form and document before anything is submitted, so names, dates and figures match across every document.

We track progress and keep you updated, so you never have to chase.

Decision & arrival
Once you are approved, we give you travel and arrival checklists and guidance on registering locally, plus the renewal dates to plan for.
If you are refused, we review the decision and your options with you. Where an appeal needs a regulated adviser or lawyer, we work alongside one for you, and they act under their own terms.

Our fees
Clear fees, agreed before we start.
Every case is different, so we quote for yours. Here is how our fees work.
- Agreed in writing first
- Before any work starts, we set out our fee and what it covers in writing. Where a fee is split into stages, such as planning, documents and submission, each stage is listed.
- Government fees paid separately
- Visa application fees, health charges and biometrics fees are set by each government. They are separate from our fee and, where possible, you pay them directly.
- Third-party costs kept separate
- Translations, medicals, police certificates, couriers and any independent adviser or lawyer are charged separately. If your case changes and needs extra work, we agree it with you in writing first.
What our fee covers
Support for every stage of your case.
Our fee pays for the work of taking your case from eligibility to arrival, not only the forms. Your written quote confirms exactly which of these services it includes, and one case owner looks after you throughout.
- Eligibility review and a recommended route
- A document checklist and templates made for your case
- Completed forms, checked before submission
- Help submitting through the right channel
- Booking biometrics and appointments
- Interview preparation, including a mock interview
- Progress tracking with regular updates
- Guidance after the decision and planning ahead
- Working alongside independent regulated advisers or lawyers where the law requires it
No two cases are alike. Book a consultation and we will give you a written quote for yours.

What happens after I get in touch?
We read your enquiry and arrange a consultation to understand your plans, whether that is work, study, family, permanent residence, investment or a visit.
What the first steps usually look like:
• Consultation: we discuss your goals, your immigration history and your timing, and look at whether you are likely to be eligible.
• Written plan: we set out the recommended route, the documents you will need, our fee, a realistic timeline and the main risks.
• Document pack: we give you a checklist and templates, and help with financial evidence, translations and any apostille.
From there we complete and check your forms, help you submit, book biometrics or appointments, prepare you for any interview, and follow your application through to a decision.
Are you a law firm? Are you regulated?
No. Brighture Immigration is an immigration consultancy, not a law firm, and we do not give legal advice or represent clients in court or at tribunal.
We provide guidance and application support: route planning, eligibility reviews, document preparation and checking, form completion, case management and interview preparation.
Some work must, by law, be done by a regulated adviser, solicitor or attorney. Examples include regulated immigration advice in the UK, legal representation in the US, and tribunal appeals. Where your case needs this, we work alongside independent regulated advisers or lawyers. They act for you under their own terms, and we stay your day-to-day contact.
Their terms and fees are set out for you separately, and nothing starts until you have agreed to them.
Where are you based?
Brighture Immigration is a UK company with offices in London and New York.
We work with clients all over the world. Most of our work is done by email, phone and video call, so you do not need to live near either office.
Between our two offices, our working hours overlap with most time zones.
Which destinations do you cover, and what don't you handle?
We help people move to the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia and the UAE.
We support work visas, study and graduate routes, family and dependant applications, permanent residence and citizenship, investor and entrepreneur routes, visitor visas, and refusals and complex cases. Where a case needs a regulated adviser or lawyer, we work alongside one.
We do not handle asylum claims, detention or removal cases, or large corporate mobility programmes. Our focus is on individuals and families.
