Why we are different
Not a document forwarding consultancy.
Many applicants already have talent. The difficult part is making the case easy to understand, easy to trust, and aligned with the right route.
Route breadth
Digital technology, research, engineering, humanities, social sciences, arts, culture, and specialist creative paths are considered before strategy is fixed.
Evidence-led guidance
We focus on what reviewers need to see: proof, context, ownership, recognition, and field-specific evidence rather than vague claims.
Answer-first calls
Every discussion should leave applicants clearer on route, gaps, fees, timing, evidence, and the practical next step.
Official-source discipline
Advice is grounded in GOV.UK Global Talent guidance, Immigration Rules, and published endorsing body criteria.
Route fit, field logic, switching position
Proof gaps, recommendation angles, impact
LinkedIn, portfolio, public authority signals
Roadmap, priorities, submission readiness

About FAQ
Questions about our team and advisory approach
Understand how the company works, how human expertise and AI-supported route intelligence fit together, and why the process is built around evidence readiness.
Who leads Tier 1 Global Talent Visa?
Tier 1 Global Talent Visa is founder-led by Mihir Thaker. The advisory approach combines business judgement, profile positioning, evidence strategy, and route-specific planning for serious Global Talent applicants.
How is your approach different from generic visa consulting?
Generic consulting often focuses on forms and document lists. This advisory model starts with diagnosis: route fit, evidence gaps, public authority signals, recommendation strategy, and how the applicant's career story should be understood by reviewers.
Do humans review the strategy or is it only AI-assisted?
Human review stays central. AI-supported route intelligence can help surface questions and evidence gaps faster, but strategy, positioning, and applicant guidance still need human judgement.
Are you connected to the UK government or endorsing bodies?
No. The company is independent from the UK government and endorsing bodies. Guidance is based on official route information, published criteria, and practical evidence strategy, but decisions remain external.
Which applicant profiles do you work with?
The work is suited to serious applicants in technology, founding, research, academia, arts, culture, design, and other Global Talent fields who need clearer route strategy and stronger evidence presentation.
Why do applicants need case positioning before applying?
A strong career can still look unclear if proof is scattered. Case positioning connects achievements, impact, recognition, public evidence, recommendation angles, and future UK contribution into a more coherent application.
