Re: Exceptional talent to ILR - potential issues

Just get one more monthly salary payment from your current employer confirmed by payslip, and you should be fine.

Re: Questions

Did you submit out-of-country stage 2 application for Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa? If so, there is not much you can do at this point. Just wait for the outcome. If HO approves your application, take your police certificate to OVRO or local station, tell your story and update information. If HO de...

Re: Stage 2 question

I've asked this question using HO email for talent visas. They replied with "digital technology".

I think it's very generous. It means that you can switch to another IT role and still get the ILR, if you want to.

Re: Stage 2: Issuing Authority and Dates for previous visas

I've checked my letter, BRP and entry clearance stamp. It appears that Valid from field in Entry Clearance stamp matches the start date of my leave. And Valid until field in BRP matches the end date of my leave. It should probably apply to all similar cases, including yours. But I strongly suggest t...

Re: Stage 2: Issuing Authority and Dates for previous visas

For Tier 2 ICT you should have a letter from HO clearly stating start date and end date of your leave. Expiry date in your BRP should match the last day of your leave, but issue date might not match the first day of your leave, beware. For C-Student.. "British Embassy in Moscow" should be ok. It wor...

You should be fine.

CoS will expire in 3 months and it should not affect your application. There is no obligation to use this CoS or to finish application process for Tier 2.

Home Office sends an email when decision is made. This is the moment when your new leave starts.

Re: Stage 1 endorsement (accelerator programme attendees)

In my opinion, any proof or recognition in the UK helps a lot, including startup accelerator. As far as I know, both Exceptional Talent and Exceptional Promise applications can be fast tracked. Even if your application is not eligible for fast track, it won't be rejected automatically. It will be co...

Re: Who will Home Office contact for the decision of Stage 1? The lawyer or the applicant?

Did you receive an email from Home Office with number starting with URN2018* ?

I guess, decision will be sent to the same email.

But I do not think it will make a big difference. Your lawyer will contact you, no worries. :)

Re: Name of work permit

In my opinion, if employer is unable to spend 10 minutes to learn about this visa route and do the online check described in this topic (general-uk-immigration-forum/online-rig ... 70094.html), you probably should not work for them.
