How I structured my UK Global Talent (Exceptional Promise) Visa Application from 2020

Hi folks! My previous post from 2020 on the steps I took to securing my UK Global Talent Visa (Exceptional Promise) continues to reach/help many of you. The most frequent question I get asked is, "can I see how you structured the application;" so, I've decided to share a redacted version here because I'm not one to gate-keep and I'd rather not email the huge document over and over again. So please find the redacted document attached! :D NOTE: I AM NOT AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER AND EVERYTHING WRITTEN HERE/SHARED IS MY PERSONAL APPLICATION/EXPERIENCE/OPINION. THIS DOES NOT ACT AS LEGAL ADVICE.  I ALSO APPLIED IN 2020 SO THE REQUIREMENTS/RULES COULD BE DIFFERENT. ALWAYS CHECK THE GOVERNMENT WEBSITE.

* A 'cover page' and 'table of contents' is not required, but I'm extra AF and wanted to make it super easy to see I met all the requirements they asked of me.

** You'll notice I've redacted the names/positions of folks who wrote letters for me and I've completely deleted those letters and their corresponding CVs because that's all private information. I've also redacted any names on any screen shots that I thought might not want to be public knowledge since those web pages might not even exist anymore. If you see this and your name is visible and you don't want it to be, please let me know and I'll re-upload with it redacted!

*** If I wasn't specifically named in a review or evidence of participation, note that I got a letter from someone high up in the project to corroborate my participation/performance.

**** I highlighted/color-coded/organized things in ways that made sense to me. Use this as a guide and make it make sense for your brain. You've got this!

***** BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR ART-FORM. I didn't include acting as something I did for the GT visa because I wasn't doing it as much. My career shifted a bit and I couldn't use any acting jobs as proof of work when doing my UK ILR application because I hadn't included it in the GT app.
