Global Talent Visa Endorsement Review
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2023 2:58 pm
Hi,
I recently submitted an application for Global Talent Visa Endorsement. My application has been rejected. The reason for the refusal is:
The application did not sufficiently demonstrate that the position to which the applicant has been appointed either:
1. Has responsibility for academic, research or innovation leadership and development; or
2. Directs or leads an individual or team research or innovation project or programme of work.
I have been working as a Senior Lecturer in a university for the last two years and the Statement of Guarantee letter provided to me by the university states (among others) the following:
"“Dr XYZ accepted the job offer for the position of Senior Lecturer within the school of XYZ, at XYZ University. It is confirmed that in this position the applicant will have direct or lead an individual or team research project or programme of work; or will direct or lead an individual or team innovation project or programme of work.”
My understanding is that this statement fulfill Criteria 2 above. Moreover, our university has provided similar letters to other successful applicants. My university is happy to provide me a more detailed letter. However, my understanding is that if I want to add new evidence (letter), I will have to make a fresh application. So my question is whether there are sufficient grounds here for a successful review application? Moreover, our university has a relatively fixed template for the letter which they issue to all Senior Lecturers. Therefore, while I am a Programme Director for one of our postgraduate programmes and a co-head for one of our research centres, they did not add any of this information in the letter. So while new evidence cannot be submitted, should I highlight this in the review form as a further clarification of the above?
