# AssessNow > AssessNow is a UK immigration assessment platform that helps individuals check whether they meet the requirements for specific UK visa and immigration routes. Users answer structured questions based on current Home Office guidance and receive an instant personalised verdict with an evidence checklist and downloadable PDF report. AssessNow also connects users with regulated UK immigration law firms through a warm leads marketplace. AssessNow is not a law firm and does not provide immigration advice. All assessments are information tools based on published Home Office guidance. For regulated immigration advice, users should consult a qualified adviser registered with the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) or a solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). ## Assessments AssessNow currently offers three assessment types, each evaluating a different UK immigration route: - [Spouse Visa Financial Requirement Assessment](https://assessnow.co.uk/assess/spouse-financial): Evaluates whether an applicant meets the minimum income requirement (MIR) for a UK spouse visa under Appendix FM. Covers all 7 income categories (salaried employment, non-salaried employment, self-employment, pension, cash savings, rental income, and adequate maintenance). Analyses combination pathways, calculates surplus or shortfall against the applicable threshold, and generates a personalised evidence checklist mapped to the applicant's specific income sources. Based on Home Office Appendix FM MIR guidance. - [Skilled Worker Salary Requirement Assessment](https://assessnow.co.uk/assess/skilled-worker): Checks whether a job offer meets the salary requirements for a UK Skilled Worker visa. Covers 412 SOC occupation codes with going rate comparison, 11 salary calculation options (A through K), transitional rate eligibility, new entrant and PhD qualifiers, ISL (Immigration Salary List) and Table 1a access checks, and route-ineligibility detection for Table 3a restricted occupations. Based on Home Office Skilled Worker guidance. - [Sponsor Licence Eligibility Assessment](https://assessnow.co.uk/assess/sponsor-licence): Assesses whether a UK business is likely eligible for a Home Office Sponsor Licence to sponsor Skilled Workers. Evaluates three verdict drivers: Legal Suitability, Document Sufficiency, and Financial Viability. Includes a scrutiny risk assessment (standard, elevated, or high), fee estimation, and a grouped evidence checklist covering mandatory and supporting documents. Based on Home Office sponsor guidance and Appendix A. ## Guides Practical guidance articles on UK immigration requirements: ### Family - [Spouse Visa Financial Requirement: The Complete Guide](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/spouse-visa-financial-requirement): Comprehensive guide to meeting the minimum income requirement for a UK spouse visa, covering all income categories and thresholds. - [UK Spouse Visa Income Threshold Change](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/spouse-visa-income-threshold-change): Explains the increase from the previous threshold to the current requirement and what it means for applicants. - [UK Spouse Visa Cost Breakdown](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/spouse-visa-cost-breakdown): Full breakdown of all costs involved in a UK spouse visa application, including fees, NHS surcharge, and professional services. - [Spouse Visa Evidence Checklist](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/spouse-visa-evidence-checklist): Detailed checklist of documents required to support a UK spouse visa application. ### Work - [UK Skilled Worker Salary Threshold](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/skilled-worker-salary-threshold): Guide to the salary requirements for a Skilled Worker visa, including general threshold, going rates, and transitional arrangements. - [UK Skilled Worker SOC Codes](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/skilled-worker-soc-codes): How to find and verify the correct SOC (Standard Occupational Classification) code for a Skilled Worker visa application. - [Skilled Worker Visa for Employers](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/skilled-worker-visa-for-employers): What UK employers need to know about sponsoring Skilled Workers, including costs, responsibilities, and compliance duties. ### Business - [Sponsor Licence Eligibility](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/sponsor-licence-eligibility): Overview of what makes a business eligible for a UK Sponsor Licence, including legal and operational requirements. - [Sponsor Licence Application Process](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/sponsor-licence-application-process): Step-by-step guide to the Sponsor Licence application process, timelines, and what to expect. - [Sponsor Licence Compliance](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/sponsor-licence-compliance): Ongoing compliance duties for sponsor licence holders, including record-keeping, reporting, and audit preparation. ### General - [UKVI Fee Changes](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides/ukvi-fee-changes): Summary of recent UK Visas and Immigration fee changes across application types. ## Blog Opinion and analysis on UK immigration policy: - [Sponsor Licence Compliance 2026: The Rules Just Shifted](https://assessnow.co.uk/blog/sponsor-licence-compliance-rules-shifted): Analysis of recent changes to sponsor compliance duties and what they mean for UK businesses holding or applying for a sponsor licence. - [Skilled Worker Salary Threshold 2026: What £41,700 Really Means](https://assessnow.co.uk/blog/skilled-worker-salary-threshold-what-it-means): The human impact of the skilled worker salary threshold increase, examining how the change affects workers, families, and career decisions. - [How Hard Is It to Get a UK Spouse Visa in 2026?](https://assessnow.co.uk/blog/how-hard-is-it-to-get-a-spouse-visa): An honest look at the difficulty of the UK spouse visa process, covering financial requirements, timelines, costs, and approval rates. ## Other Pages - [Home](https://assessnow.co.uk): Main landing page with assessment overview and pricing. - [For Law Firms](https://assessnow.co.uk/for-law-firms): Information for UK immigration law firms about the assessment tool and warm leads marketplace. - [Sample Report](https://assessnow.co.uk/sample-report): Example assessment report showing the type of analysis and evidence checklists provided. - [Connect with a Law Firm](https://assessnow.co.uk/connect): Direct enquiry form for individuals seeking professional immigration advice. - [Blog](https://assessnow.co.uk/blog): All blog posts on UK immigration policy and analysis. - [Guides](https://assessnow.co.uk/guides): All immigration guidance articles. - [RSS Feed](https://assessnow.co.uk/blog/feed.xml): RSS feed for blog posts. ## Contact - Website: [https://assessnow.co.uk](https://assessnow.co.uk) - Email: admin@assessnow.uk ## Last updated March 2026
