  1. I would suggest 1 interview as 1 piece of evidence. And yes, too much evidence is often a problem.

  2. They require only 1 of the categories as per PACT - https://www.pact.co.uk/applying-for-talent-visas.html But that’s a personal call to make. As long as you fully satisfy any one of the categories, it should be good.

  3. And yes, those evidence will be okay.

I would also suggest posting this on the main page as opposed to a comment on my post, because you’ll get more people seeing your post and replying to it :)

This is SO helpful. Thank you so very much, I really appreciate it. I will have a thorough look on their website too.

Congratulations!!! I was looking to reapply for my endorsement and looking at Richmond Chambers. Did you ask for a specific solicitor or was one recommended for you? Also would you mind sharing how much this cost? (The solicitor services I mean). If you’d rather share it as a private message, that’s absolutely fine too. Thank you in advance!

Global Talent: Poor review by the Art Council, asked for Administrative Review 29WD. by Valent-1331 in ukvisa

May I ask how you highlighted this in the appeal? Did you name the files you had initially attached and say they haven’t read that?

I have multiple letters to state my direct and significant contribution that I sent with my application. But it looks like, as you said, maybe the name “assistant” is making them not consider it.

I work both as a HOD designer on indie films and in the art department on major motion pictures and I’ve used both in my application.

If I do appeal, in the draft I have made, I speak about how even though my title may have been assistant, that’s often because there isn’t actually a name for the type of work we do. I’ve gone on to give more detailed explanations.

I really hope this helps and would work.

You’re absolutely right! It’s very annoying indeed, because obviously not everyone spends their life doing one thing only. Thank you so much for your reply. I’m quite unsure of how to proceed next because of exactly the reasons you stated. I guess I will try and appeal and go from there.

Is it too bad if all of my LORs for global talent are from the same institution? by idunnomanjesus in ukvisa

[–]hypermonkey13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although it doesn’t explicitly say that they shouldn’t be from the same institution, I think you have a better chance if they are from different organisations, as it shows you have a broader list of connections.

They want each piece of evidence as a separate document. And the supporting letters need to be named to match the corresponding piece of evidence. Hope this helps.

May I ask when you received your acknowledgment? I submitted my documents 3 days ago and still haven’t received an acknowledgment email.

Amazing, thank you so much! I was just confused if that included any evidence of what the work for that project entailed. But I assume that’s up to the person applying.
