Thank to the forum members and those who have shared their success and rejected experiences and feedbacks. I used a lot of knowledge shared on these posts, feedback to learn and craft my own application.
I have been granted exceptional global talent. I applied in the UK and it took exactly two weeks to get endorsed. I’ll share a quicky summary here.
It took 3 edits in the portal before getting a decision next day.
I have about 5 years of experience of working in the UK as a software engineer in modern technologies. I do not have any patents, research publications.
List of summary of documents. Could help someone who would be on a similar boat I was.
For others in the MC, I only submitted
- Evidence of News articles of products I have worked.( 4 differnt products)
- Proof of high renumeration.
OC1 - Proof of contribution beyond the job
- Evidence of teaching online courses.
- Evidence of teaching in University.
- Proof of talks in Universities, Youtube.
- Tech arcticles ( Pretty basic which had couple of citations) - Not research publications.
OC2 - Evidence of Significant Contribution to Product / Commerical Contribution
- Evidence of signigicant contribution ( Screenshot of summary commits, PR’s from internal version control system, As most of my work is IP and cannot be public)
- Architecure Diagrams and sytem diagrams.
- Reference Letter from a Senior Manager.
- Employment contract for last 3 jobs in 5 years.
PS
I have come across some agencies and individuals, including alumni, who offer feedback and support for this application process. While I understand that no one’s time is free and should be valued and compensated appropriately, but the prices they charge are often exorbitant—sometimes costing more than the entire two-stage application process itself.
However, it’s important to remember that each application is unique. I strongly encourage applicants to take the time to work on their own applications, as this personalized effort is crucial to success.
