I'm a Tier 1 Exceptional Promise visa holder applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain using the Global Talent route as advised on the application.

On the application it asks for evidence of money earned in your specialist field in your latest period of leave (for me while I was on my Tier 1 visa).

Question 1

I worked in this job for a year under my Tier 1 visa so applicable! The job was at a university in a History department but my specialist field is Literature. However, I was hired to do work in my specialist field - ie. I did work on Literature on an interdisciplinary project in a History Department. Apart from payslips, a letter confirming my earnings and a contract I was going to provide a letter (on official letterhead) either from the head of school or the professor who led the project (who is a Dean) confirming that I earned money in my specialist field so that it's clear - I think I need this because it might not be clear from the Department what my work was on! Do you think this is enough?

Question 2
I am currently working in another job for a non-UK employer (remotely in the UK). This is also in my specialist field (and the contracts clearly. The money for this post goes into a non-UK bank account but I've filed and paid taxes on this income in the UK. This job title is my specialist field. However 1) do posts for non-UK companies count? 2) Do I need to include this if above is sufficient for showing I earned money in my specialist field? The one bonus of this job is my job title matches the specialist field so I wouldn't need an accompanying letter like above.

Thanks Zimba

I'm also a bit confused about whether my second job is eligible where I worked remotely in the UK for a non-UK institution. I 'earned money' working remotely but the funds went into a non-UK bank account so does it still work in terms of 'earning money in the UK'. I did of course pay UK tax on this income and have this paperwork.

Though I suppose if my first job fulfils the requirements perhaps no need to even supply the information from the second job.

There is no specific requirement so provide whatever you want really

Hello,

I am currently filling out my Indefinite Leave to Remain Application on the Tier 1Talent/Global talent route.

The application asks for evidence contact details that allow each of the documents provided to be verified as necessary.

I have contact details for all my documents except for my Barclays bank statements (which I downloaded from online). I can't seem to get any help from Barclays on the best way to provide contact information for verification (my local branch hasn't been helpful and when I rang they just said (like the poster below) to use the customer service number which I doubt would help!

I did see a similar question (in the link below) but could not see if it was resolved.

I do have other evidence to confirm I was paid - a letter from payroll with signed and stamped payslips. I also have a letter from HR which confirms payment.

Should I 1) not include the bank statements 2) include them but not provide contact details 3) or simply provide a generic customer service Barclays number that won't be of much help to verify the statements.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

You do not need to provide any contact details for a known bank Any evidence that obviously can be verified is enough.

Hello,

I've collected my paperwork for my Tier 1 to Indefinite Leave to Remain. However, I'm stuck on one final thing.

It says please provide 'all previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards the you have used to travel to or remain in the UK'

Do this mean every single passport even those used for holidays to the UK. My first visa was in 2005 and I have all my passports from 2005 until my current one + BRP. I am applying based on my Tier 2 + Tier 1 (3 years) which is all in my current passport.

However, I did come to the UK as a child on holiday in 2015 and on a longer visit in 2001 (on a short student exchange). Do I need to also provide these passports?

Many thanks

Thank you so much! That is very helpful. I've just posted another question about passports needed as well and I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!!!

Topics merged. Please keep ALL your questions in one topic please.

Only the passports used in the last 5 years

Thanks Zimba!

Hopefully final question

For my bank statements I don't have hard copies but I do have Barclays statements that I can download online that look exactly like the original hardcopies. Can I upload these or do I need to order hardcopies from the bank.

All digital evidence is acceptable

Thank you again! That also answers my question about my EP60 copy!

More questions - I submitted with super priority status! Hooray.

I can't book an appointment yet as I received an email saying that I need to wait and see if I am eligible for the App.

I then went ahead and uploaded my documents as they were all ready.

1. Can I please confirm that for Global Talent to ILR - all my optional documents go under the category Other.
2. Can I confirm that I don't need to add any additional documents for categories like finances (I only need to provide what was requested on my checklist)
3. I have uploaded all my files and they are confirmed uploaded. However, there is no submit button...is this because I have to wait until I hear back about the app - ie. is it not possible to submit my documents yet?

Any help would be appreciated as I just spent a few hours uploading!

Thank you so much

Emmy

Update - I refreshed and could submit my documents so all done now.

However, no appointments are available anywhere still so I assume I have to wait for their email about whether I can use the app or not?
