Where it goes wrong
Most refusals here are arithmetic
Not merit. Three things account for most of it, and all three are the kind of mistake you only find out about at the end.
The limit is a rolling window
Not 180 days per calendar year — any 12 months, starting on any day. A calculation that only looks at whole years can pass while the real window fails.
Not every visa counts
Time on some visas counts towards settlement and time on others does not. A gap of a few days between two grants can move where your period starts.
Your route sets your period
Three years or five, five or ten. On Global Talent it turns on which endorsement you hold — and people apply on the wrong date because nobody told them which.

Before you sign up
What this will not do
Give you immigration advice
It organises information and arithmetic. It does not assess the merits of your case, and it is not provided by a solicitor or an adviser regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority.
Hold your documents
There is nowhere to upload anything, on purpose. You mark what you have and what you still need; your passports and payslips stay with you.
Decide your route for you
You tell it which route you are on. It will not claim to have diagnosed your immigration status from a questionnaire.
Pretend a draft is finished
Letters come out labelled as drafts, with gaps left where the tool does not know something rather than filled with a plausible guess.
Fees and thresholds change, sometimes at short notice. Every figure links to gov.uk — check it there before you budget or apply.
