Endorsement update

Stage 1

Hello everyone
I’m delighted to inform you that after applying for exceptional promise on Nov 7th, I received endorsement for exceptional talent today.
I’m grateful for the insights I’ve received on this forum.
I’m a procurment and supply chain leader with focus on bringing technology to procurement.
My recommendation letters were from; a leader in digital procurment within the UK’s cabinet office and a minister of digital economy from my country and the last one from a leader in digital healthcare.
My experiences were mainly on digital commercial and sales, though just about to complete a PhD in Blockchain and supply chain in a reputable U.K. university. I have also contributed to policies in digital tech and presented widely in conferences in Africa, Middle East and Europe over the last 4 years.
Many thanks and good luck to everyone!

@salisuuba
Congrats!!! Did you receive any feedback from TN explaining why they give you a talent instead promise( obviously it’s because you’re overqualified for a promise haha!)

I’m about to submit my application and I’m thinking if it will be safer to apply for a promise instead of a talent? (I feel I’m qualified for a talent as I have more than 5 years experience but not sure what TN feels.)

Go for what you feel you’re qualified for. Play safe indeed but don’t underestimate yourself.

No explanation was given and I’m not interested in one!

Hello everyone. Please I’m new here on this platform. I want to seek beneficial opinions on whether someone on Tier 4 could apply for stage 2 within the UK.
Thanks

Yes, you can apply for stage 2 in the UK. You are switching your visa.

Good afternoon, Francisca
Many thanks for your quick and valuable response.

Besides, I have submitted my application to The British Academy for exceptional promise endorsement. It is now three weeks after submission.

From this platform, I have seen some guys that got their endorsements within three weeks after submission. I am being apprehensive to get my endorsement within three weeks to apply for my visa.

Thanks

British Academy is not the endorsement body for digital technology. This forum is for those seeking endorsement for digital technology. British Academy may take more time. Generally it takes 8 weeks

Thanks, Francisca

I am trying to get a British Academy forum like this to share thoughts and views on exceptional promise endorsement. I couldn’t get
