Free preliminary check

Software for the repeatable work. A qualified professional for the judgement.

UK immigration, without the guesswork

Most of a UK immigration case is repeatable: the right route, the current thresholds, the documents. Clearway's software does that part for free, with the official source and the date it was checked. The part that needs judgement is handled by a qualified professional, for a flat fee.

Official UK sources, dated. No account. No promises about any outcome.

The problem

Small mistakes can become expensive problems

The rules change.

Requirements differ between routes.

Documents matter.

And not everyone giving immigration help is authorised to advise you.

Clearway gives you a better place to start.

Why this matters

Immigration is expensive. Bad information makes it more expensive.

How to use Clearway

Do the simple work first

You should not need to pay someone to tell you information that is already public.

Use Clearway to understand the basics and prepare your questions. Then use your consultation for the things that actually require professional judgement.

Regulated work

When your case needs judgement, not information

Some questions cannot be answered by reading the rules.

Your immigration history, previous refusals, evidence, timing and personal circumstances change what you should do. Assessing that is regulated work, done by a qualified professional, not by software.

Regulated Case Review: £199, flat fee per matter

Your case is read before you speak to anyone. You get a personalised assessment, a 45-minute consultation and a written summary of your next steps.

Clearway's regulated immigration service is currently being prepared and is not yet available to the public.

You can use the free preliminary check now. Regulated case reviews and application support cannot be bought yet, and nothing on this site is immigration advice.

Note

Software explains the rules. A qualified professional assesses your case.

Clearway's free check explains what the published UK immigration rules say and links to the source, with the date we last checked it. Rules and figures change. Assessing your own case is regulated work, and we do not blur the line between the two.
