Common questions
Know what this platform can — and cannot — do
Is UK Immigration Hub a law firm?
No. It is an independent general-information and signposting platform. It does not provide legal advice or representation.
Can the platform tell me whether I qualify?
No. Our guides explain published requirements, but they do not assess a person’s facts or recommend a route. A suitably regulated professional can provide individual advice.
Are the guides a replacement for GOV.UK?
No. We help make the landscape easier to understand and link to the official source. Always confirm the current rule and application process on GOV.UK.
How will professional listings work?
The directory foundation is designed around transparent regulator checks and user choice. A listing will never mean that the platform has decided a professional is right for a particular case.
