Who this template is for

Immigration Consultation is built for law firms and in-house legal teams who need to intake a matter with the facts, parties and consent recorded.

  • Law firms and in-house legal teams working in legal & professional services.
  • Teams who need to intake a matter with the facts, parties and consent recorded without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing conflict checks delayed by missing intake detail with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are clients and claimants — the form asks them 29 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of conflict checks delayed by missing intake detail and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 17 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It allows multiple selections without free text.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “Has any application ever been refused or withdrawn?” is Yes, “Which applications, when, and what reason were you given?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Do you have a partner or children with you?” is Yes, “Family members and their status” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Are you currently working or studying?” is Working, the form dynamically exposes “Employer or sponsor name”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “How soon do you need advice?” is There is a deadline within 14 days, “What is the deadline, and what is it for?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Immigration advice depends almost entirely on history, and history is what a first phone call never captures completely. This three-page intake collects it before the consultation. The first page covers identity and current position: nationality and any second nationality, country of residence, what permission the client currently holds and when it expires, and their travel document details. The second page is the history that shapes the advice — previous applications and their outcomes, refusals or withdrawals, any removal or deportation, overstays, and previous representatives. It asks for dates because sequence matters more than description here. The third page covers the client's family and work situation, including a partner and children, dependants, employment or study, and the outcome they are hoping for, plus how soon they need it. Uploads are invited for documents already in hand so the adviser can read rather than reconstruct. Immigration rules are national, change often and are applied by category, so nothing on this form indicates eligibility or likelihood. It is a fact record for a qualified adviser to assess, and it says so on the page.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 4 conditional rules, grouped into 4 behaviours driven by 4 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Has any application ever been refused or withdrawn?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Has any application ever been refused or withdrawn?” is Yes, “Which applications, when, and what reason were you given?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Do you have a partner or children with you?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Do you have a partner or children with you?” is Yes, “Family members and their status” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Are you currently working or studying?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Are you currently working or studying?” is Working, the form reveals “Employer or sponsor name”.

Driven by “How soon do you need advice?

  • Makes answers required

    If “How soon do you need advice?” is There is a deadline within 14 days, “What is the deadline, and what is it for?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Route deadline answers first

    A submission naming a date inside two weeks should reach a caseworker the same day; everything else can follow the normal intake queue.

  2. 2

    Ask for dates, not narratives

    Immigration history is assessed in sequence, so short dated entries beat long paragraphs for the adviser reading the file.

  3. 3

    Invite documents on the history page

    A refusal letter answers more questions than any form field, and clients usually have it saved somewhere.

  4. 4

    Set expectations above the form

    State plainly that the intake is fact-gathering, that a consultation fee may apply, and which countries you advise on.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Implying an outcome or eligibility anywhere in the copy, when rules are national and change frequently.
  • Skipping the previous-representative question, which regularly explains a gap in the client's own account.
  • Making the interpreter question optional in practice by burying it below the submit button.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Open a matter from each submission, request the missing evidence with the Client Document Request Form, and confirm the consultation basis in writing before advising.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the immigration consultation, matched on the words people actually search for.

Privacy & compliance

This form collects identity or financial details. Enable encrypted answers on the sensitive fields, avoid emailing full values in notifications, and delete responses once the check is complete.

Frequently asked questions

Does this form assess eligibility?

No. It records facts and history for a qualified adviser to read. Immigration rules differ by country and category and change often, so no form can say what someone qualifies for.

How does it relate to the document request form?

This gathers the story; the Client Document Request Form chases the evidence once the adviser knows which documents the matter actually needs.

Why ask about refusals so directly?

Because a previous refusal changes the advice more than almost anything else, and finding it later in a consultation wastes the client's money.

Is a passport upload safe to request?

Only ask for what you need, store submissions with restricted access, and say above the form how long documents are kept. The number field alone is often enough at enquiry stage.

Is the Immigration Consultation template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Immigration Consultation on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Immigration Consultation template ask for?

It asks 29 questions across 3 pages, 17 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Immigration Consultation form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

How does the conditional logic in this legal & professional services form work?

4 conditional rules ship with the template: Features conditional validation: if “Has any application ever been refused or withdrawn?” is Yes, “Which applications, when, and what reason were you given?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent. Features conditional validation: if “Do you have a partner or children with you?” is Yes, “Family members and their status” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent. Features advanced show logic: if “Are you currently working or studying?” is Working, the form dynamically exposes “Employer or sponsor name”. Otherwise that question never appears. All rules are editable in the Logic tab.

Where do responses to the Immigration Consultation form go?

Submissions land in your workspace under Submissions, where you can search, filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF. You can also email a notification to your team on every submission and send the respondent an auto-reply.

Can I embed the Immigration Consultation form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Can respondents upload files?

Yes. This template includes a file upload question, so respondents can attach documents or photos with their answers. You can adjust the accepted file types and size limits on that question.
