Planning guidance

Evidence HRA checks before application spend

HRA connects the current official route position to the applicant's profile. The review does not promise approval; it identifies missing evidence, route risks and the next decision that needs human verification.

  • occupation and employer fit
  • salary or skill threshold
  • education and experience
  • work-authorisation documents

Planning guidance

From enquiry to a controlled next step

The first review separates information gathering from legal or filing decisions. A counsellor checks the profile, confirms current source validity and records the recommended action before an application package can begin.

  • Role and salary benchmark review
  • COMPASS and exemption assessment
  • Employer fair-consideration and application stage
  • In-principle approval and entry
