Did you add a bank statement to your application?

No. This was not a document that was requested for the application.

I sent in my passport, shipping label, printed application, endorsement letter, and immigration health surcharge receipt, nothing else.

Was notified of a decision on 7th Nov and received my visa 8th Nov.

I have the visa, apparently it was not a problem.

Nope, no attachment at all.

Thanks. I got an email from Sheffield stating a decision was made a few hours ago, but it doesn't say what.

I just saw a post elsewhere noting that for Tech Nation stage 2 applications, the answer to "What is your field of talent" is supposed to be "Digital Technology". I listed my subfield (as on my Tech Nation application) instead. Is this going to cause a denial? Is there anything I can do about it?

Yes. I did not qualify for a fast track decision for stage 1. I retained an immigration law firm to guide me through the entire process. They felt my application was strong (I have patents, academic publications, news coverage, and multiple presentations at well known conferences), for whatever that...
