Hi DrUni, Yes, I applied as a lecturer- not a Senior Lecturer, and the only reference to leadership was that 'Dr XXX will direct or lead an individual or team research project or programme of work'. They then went on to list the earlier shared items as part of the role. Hi hope071, Thank you very m...

Hello Dr Uni, The endorsing body was BA, and applied as an exceptional promise. It was submitted as a standard application, and I know people that even got stage 2 decisions faster than myself. In terms of specifics, the HR listed the following: Dr XXX is expected to dedicate 40% of work to researc...

Hello, I recently applied and was successful for GTV under route 1 as a lecturer (I was previously under skilled worker visa for 2 years in another uni). My University's letter explicitly stated that I 'will direct or lead an individual or team research project or programme of work. As part of this...

Hello hope071,

And thank you very much for your quick response. Which Endorsing body did you get your endorsement from?

- Also could you please list the things/items that HR specified in your letter in terms of research leadership please?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi meself2,

Yes, this is not helpful. I need someone to explain to me their own experience. A successful one preferably.

Hello,

Can anyone please share their experience for applying to GTV using a lecturer position/offer? especially in regards to criteria of leadership. Any comments are very much appreciated.

Hi lolo2, Thank you very much for your response. I am still awaiting for an offer and once I do, I will ask the employer about the CoS duration.

Hi Anon123B and thank you f0or your response. If I get 5 years with new employer and I qualify for IRL within 4 years from that visa (counting the one year from the first visa). Wouldn't the total of visa applications be two? - first application I already made and I got three years and the second ap...

And final point is I might switch to a new employer only having been on one year of Skilled worker Visa so I wouldn't have completed the full three years with the old employer.

I also want to add that when I applied for three years the first time - the visa was two months short due to delays in granting me the visa. so If I get two years with new employer - I am still short of 5 years period and hence I would need to apply for an extension.

Hi @Frontier Mole and thank you for you response. The difference here is instead of getting two years from the new employer - added to my previous three years to equal five years in total - means I have to extend my visa again with the new employer which means I paid three times for visa application...

I am on a skilled worker visa in the UK sponsored by my current employer from October 2022 until August 2025. My question is, If I change to another employer and re-apply for the skilled worker visa, do I get 5 years visa or would I only be offered two years based on my previous application which ma...
