Qualification Methodology
Every inbound enquiry is scored across six gates derived from UK Immigration Rules:
Route fit (mapped to firm practice areas) ·
Eligibility thresholds (Skilled Worker £38,700 / New Entrant £30,960; Spouse Visa £29,000 post-April 2024; ILR 180-day absence limit) ·
Immigration history (prior refusals flagged as complex/high-fee, not discarded) ·
Fee capacity (employment status, employer funding, Legal Aid filter) ·
Jurisdiction (catchment and consultation method) ·
Urgency (deadline days to priority band).
Scores below 45 are redirected automatically. Scores above 75 trigger a priority callback alert. No partner time is used on non-viable enquiries.
