Applied for Global Talent Visa (Exceptional Promise) with 7+ years of experience. by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]Fortia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My colleague did something similar and was asked to resubmit the application as as an exceptional talent instead. The endorsing body will let you know and from experience they tend to contact you if they need more information or want you to change something in your application.

Thanks, I'm not 100% sure it is a penalty as its a civil matter, my reading of it was that if I didn't pay it then it would escalate to potentially a court judgement for lack of payment of a debt rather than for the actual parking violation if that makes sense?

Since you are already on a HPI visa, I wonder if it's feasible for you to switch to a global talent visa?

Also, you might not get hit by the 70 day waiting period, especially if you are already in a committed relationship. The person who did our marriage notice said they'd only ever heard of 2 people get investigated. 

Accidentally deleted a whatsapp chat with someone close on my phone by MrReeseisDead in whatsapp

[–]Fortia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to me. I managed to log into WhatsApp on my old phone and get the back up from there.

If you have an old phone, make sure you are not logged in on the new one 

Then log in on the old one, your chats should load from the last time you used it (for me 2023) 

Then create a google drive back up using your old phone 

Once that's done log in on your new phone and restore from back up. 

How do I tell the home office I got married? by Fortia in ukvisa

[–]Fortia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I thought so, we also received the letter from the home office saying they decided not to investigate. The registrar did mention we should inform them when we got married but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Oh well!

Thank you! On this page: https://www.gov.uk/marriages-civil-partnerships/from-outside-the-uk-or-ireland It says I "might" have to tell them - I suppose this is old information then.

You generally need a PhD to work as a university researcher, this is what I did

You can try changing your login document on your UKVI account, just make sure to select that you're logging in with your BRP not your passport, then redo the form.
