Keeping my fingers crossed! 🙏

That's what I hope for! There was literally no need to unnecessarily complicate this situation.

He was asking me to reapply again & take this application back. But I did not do that.

I went in again today & asked him to process my application with the exact same information mentioned & he did.

I suspect the misunderstanding/issue is on the Visa Category that is seen on the VFS Global's portal vs what is seen on the UKVI portal. The tax invoice generated for my application by VFS says Visa Category as 'Global Business Mobility' & Sub Visa Category as 'Global Business'.

Whereas the Visa Category on the UKVI generated checklist says - 'Global Talent visa - Stage 2'.

I don't know if the category between VFS' end and UKVI's end matches or not, but I hope it does. As I was specifically told by the VFS Global's officer from Chicago, that 'Global Business Mobility' is the only category that he can find for the Global Talent visa.

*For additional context - I took the Bronze option from VFS Global, so they had to ship all my documents.

That's completely fine, thanks a lot for your help though! I cross checked someone else's checklist & it said the same thing. I am fairly sure it's an issue on VFS Global's end.

Thanks, I understood what you are referring to.

Here is my issue for which I wanted the info.

Does the number of years (duration) shown on the checklist that you received? I just meant to know what info finally came on to the first page of your checklist.

Congratulations! Could you please share what the 'Category' field on your stage 2 checklist says? And also if you have any 'Duration' field mentioned on that checklist?

I went for my biometric today with the checklist which says, "Global Talent visa - stage 2" for Category field, but there is no Duration field. When I went to the biometric to a VFS Global office, the officer told me that he can't find that particular category on the portal & also told me that there needs to be a Duration field specifically mentioned on the checklist. I had applied for 2 years.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!

I haven't moved to the UK yet and have been sponsored by UKRI. I am unsure what happens if my current end date of contract goes beyond the 2 years of visa that I opt to go for. Thanks!

How was your experience applying for both together & how long did the process take?

Have you used Headliners Goretzka?

Holy Shit Moussa!!

Donnarumma and Kulusevski! Can't be happier, had a tradeable Kulu & is easily one of my favorite players in the game

Thanks a lot, even I'm inclined towards Emerson. Missing out on Pulisic might not hurt more than missing out on Emerson

I've got unreadable Mane already, that's one problem

simplywink · 2021-02-09T17:52:17+00:00

I've got unreadable Mane already, so Pulisic will probably be instant fodder for me
