“Have people tried to start companies to fill this niche of streamlining immigration?”
Lots! I live in China, and immigration/visa support is a big industry. If you want to send your kid to a British university, you go to a consultant, who work very much like travel agencies. They offer you an attractive range of options to suit your budget and test scores, help you fill out the forms, send you to take whatever additional tests are necessary (even offer a little help with the tests if you can’t quite pass them yourself, wink wink), and can provide airport meet’n’greet and homestay accommodation in country.
At the rougher end of the industry, this is what people smuggling/trafficking is.
