Earthlink handles your education journey. Stonebridge handles the regulated immigration legal work that sits beside it — visas, sponsor licences, family routes, and appeals — at IAA Level 3, the highest UK accreditation.
Stonebridge Legal Solutions Limited is a London-based immigration advisory firm (Companies House 14359957) led by an IAA Level 3 Immigration Adviser. Level 3 is the most senior tier of regulation issued by the Immigration Advice Authority, covering complex applications, judicial reviews, and First-Tier Tribunal appeals.
They've built a 5.0-star reputation across 158 verified Google reviews working with students, families, and skilled workers from multi-ethnic backgrounds across the UK and overseas — the same audience Earthlink files for every week. That overlap is why the partnership works.

How the handover works
One journey. Two firms. Clear lines.
01
You start with Earthlink
Counselling, university shortlisting, admission, CAS or I-20, and document checks — all handled by us.
02
We refer the legal work
When your case needs regulated immigration advice, we introduce you to Stonebridge Legal Solutions in writing.
03
Stonebridge advises you directly
You sign a separate client-care letter with them. They quote their own fees and own the legal advice.
04
We coordinate, you stay informed
Earthlink and Stonebridge share updates — but you remain the client of both firms, with no duplication of work.
Plain English: Earthlink is your education consultancy. Stonebridge is your regulated immigration adviser. We've worked together long enough to make the handover invisible to you — but the engagement letters, fees, and legal responsibility remain separate, as UK regulations require.
Common questions
About the partnership
Are Stonebridge regulated?
Yes. Stonebridge Legal Solutions is led by an IAA Level 3 Immigration Adviser — the highest accreditation granted by the Immigration Advice Authority (formerly OISC). That covers complex casework including appeals.
Do I pay Earthlink and Stonebridge separately?
Yes. Earthlink handles your education consultancy and applications; Stonebridge handles regulated immigration legal work under a separate engagement letter and fee. We tell you the likely Stonebridge fee range up-front, before any referral.
Is Earthlink itself a law firm?
No. Earthlink Consultants is an education consultancy. UK regulations require regulated advisers (IAA-registered or solicitors) for immigration legal advice — that's why we partner with Stonebridge.
Will I have to go to Stratford to meet them?
Not necessarily. Stonebridge offer in-person, phone, and video consultations. We can sit in on the introduction call from our Harrow office if that helps.
What if I already have a solicitor?
That's fine — we'll work with your chosen adviser. The Stonebridge route is the default for students who don't have one and want a vetted partner.
Ready for a regulated, joined-up plan?
