CALL ALL T1 Exceptional Promise Combined Arts Experts!!
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2019 3:45 am
Hi There,
I am Australian. I am looking to apply for a T1 Exceptional Promise Visa based on my skills and experience in Creative Direction and Styling.
I have notable brands/companies (all UK based), including Toni & Guy, willing to write me references. I also have many press articles about projects I was involved in however my name is not mentioned directly. For example an exhibition I hugely contributed to was put in the guardian as one of the top 10 exhibitions of the year. This the Artist named in the article behind the exhibition can write me a reference no problem.
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
-Who should my referees address their recommendation letters to?
-If I need to have letters to support press documents that I was involved in but not directly mentioned will these be considered reference letters too? Will I be penalised for having too many letters from industry professionals?
-Is it ok that all press documents do not directly mention my name? so long as I have the person (company) it does write something to link me to the article?
-I do not have a degree... is this a major issue?
I am feeling extremely nervous to begin this process, lots of self sabotage going on. I know my reference will be great, I do worry about the press articles. Ultimately I understand this take self belief and projection. I am willing to let this experience push me out of my comfort zone and I will really stop at nothing to get this visa.
ANY ADVICE WOULD APPRECIATED <3 !!
Thank-you!
