Risk assessment
Four quick questions. Your score appears instantly.
How the risk score works
The Risk Scanner asks four quick questions about your work: the visa route you handle, how many cases you run, how complex they tend to be, and how you currently check documents before submission. It then weighs those answers against well-documented categories of document gaps — the kinds of issue UKVI guidance repeatedly asks applicants to avoid.
Those categories include missing certified translations, incomplete or wrongly-dated financial evidence, expired supporting documents, sponsor or employer letters lacking required detail, and inconsistent dates across a document bundle. Where your current process leaves more of these gaps open, the indicative risk band rises; a more structured, consistent checking step brings it down.
The result is a directional indicator of where your process is most exposed — not a prediction of any individual application’s outcome, and not a substitute for professional judgement. For the authoritative document requirements on each route, always refer to the relevant UKVI guidance on GOV.UK.
