The Batch Scheme
About the Batch Scheme
The Batch Scheme is a free 'check and send' service offered by Brunel International. Once you have completed your application you can make an appointment with us, when we will check it and send it to the UK Border Agency (UKBA) for you.
Benefits of the Batch Scheme
The key benefits of using the service are:
- We can check through your completed application and supporting documents
- Your application will be sent by Recorded Delivery to the UKBA
- We will deal with all correspondence on your behalf
- You application will be dealt with by a special section of the UKBA, which usually means it will be processed faster and they will usually contact us about minor errors rather than rejecting the application automatically
- We will store your passport and new visa securely until you can come and pick them up.
- Our service is completely free! (you still have to pay for the visa application fee).
