I recently received my endorsement for an exceptional promise visa from the Science Bodies. I will be applying to switch from a Tier 2 visa to a Tier 1 visa. I am currently based in the UK.
1. The email reads 'Please find below your decision letter relating to your application for Exceptional Talent Endorsement' before following with a letter addressed to me (in the email text) saying that I have been endorsed. Can I confirm that there is no additional attachment - this email is what I need to sent with my Stage 2 application.
2. For stage 2 (the immigration application) will I need to submit my passport and previous Tier 2 visa? I have a conference outside of the country and am trying to decide when (within the 3 allowable months) to put through my application. My Tier 2 doesn't expire until the end of the year so that isn't an issue.
Thank you in advance!
NOTE: If you apply for 5 years, you get a decision letter indicating the full 5 years BUT your BRP shows VALID UNTIL 31-Dec-2024. Why? Again I asked them and here the answer. This is required by the EU to restrict BRPs which do not incorporate the next generation of encryption technology to a validity of 31/12/2024. They will replace it for you if still rightfully have it on 01-July-2024.The email that you have recieved, is your confirmation of endorsement and there is not a separate letter. You need to attach this to your stage 2 visa application.
Previously a separate letter was sent but following on from changes to the application platform the process has been incorporated into the email that you received.
Please go ahead with your stage 2 application as soon as possible, as you only have 3 months from the date of that email to apply.
Technically, you need to email them if there is any mismatch/error/problem on your BRP. Refer to your decision letter and there is a link for possible errors on the BRP.
FredWe advise the Permit Holder to consult the website for current procedures 6 months prior to the expiry of the BRP.
