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.

  • sponsor status
  • relationship evidence
  • funds and accommodation
  • family timelines

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.

  • Sponsor-status and family-category mapping
  • Relationship evidence audit
  • Funds, housing and insurance check
  • Sponsor and applicant filing sequence
