I have been working in this area for the past ten years to facilitate the move towards the net-zero emission power energy system and reduce our carbon footprint in the world.

this is my timeline:

Applied for endorsement: 15 May
Got my Endorsement: 17 May

Congratulations @Fatemeh_N :+1:

I believe you applied for Tech criteria.

Did you select option to Fast Track your application ?
The question that is asked on Tech Nation application form is following : -

Do you wish your application to be considered for the Fast Track option?

Requesting you to let me know as i selected ‘No’ for it as i assumed it is only applicable for people who have been selected for accelerators/incubators.

Your result was within 1 working day and thats remarkable. I have been waiting for 3 weeks now. I understand that they can take upto 8 weeks but this contradicting datapoints keeps you on edge :frowning:

Though my application is on business side.

Once again, Congratulations :slight_smile:

I applied from inside the UK. I have been already on Tier 4 student visa studying PhD on computer science. My field was AI and Net-Zero emission power system. I didn’t apply for fast track. It was just the normal process.

@Fatemeh_N that’s great, good news really. Plus it always helps when you are inside the UK, i think its most difficult for people who are outside. But still can be achieved.

How to enter information on the TechNation site?

@Fatemeh_N congratulations. Did you apply for? Exceptional Promise or Exceptional Talent. I know you mentioned you have over 10yrs experience.

14

I applied for Exceptional promise. 7 years of this experience was in Academia ( Master and PhD)

@Fatemeh_N Thanks for the response. I had applied for an Exceptional Talent and got rejected but the assessor highlighted that I have developed some promising talent in the sector.

Thanks

16

so that means you can re-apply as a promise talent?

17

Did you get your endorsement as a talent?

First of all Congratulation @ Fatemeh_N on successfully securing the visa, well deserved and all the best for future endeavours.

Recently, I have received Exceptional Talent visa , I would like to understand about the stage 2 process . My Existing Visa type is “Dependent Visa” and want to switch to Exceptional Talent visa.
Doubts as follows

  1. Could you please explain the stage 2 process and its required documentation ?
  2. Can I apply Stage 2 on my own or Do I need any help from Immigration Solicitors for the same ?
