  • We’ll take charge of building your case from assessing your documents and professional links
  • Our team will research your public profile to determine whether there is sufficient media coverage of your professional achievements — after all, this is one of the many criteria for approval:
    •If your public profile is full enough, we can proceed from there
    •If the public profile is not extensive enough, we will create a plan to enhance it
  • The team will create a questionnaire for you based on the information you provide to us to fill in the gaps in your profile and documents
    $150 per note
  • We write and prepare a voluminous pool of documents for submission:
    • Letters of Recommendation: three letters to be signed by different referees, people who recommend you and confirm your skills and involvement in projects
    • Acknowledgement Letter: a formal and dry letter about how you participated in conferences or hackathons, spoke at professional events, advised a professional or a company, or contributed to the development of your employer
    • Appreciation Letter / Thank-You Letter: Similar the previous letter, but with an emphasis on thanking you for taking part in something
    • Mentor Letter: a personal letter from a person, talking about how you mentored them once
    • The CFO: the company founder’s brief, in which we outline your role in setting up the company, information about the company, its successes and recognition in its field
    • Clippings: a document outlining your public activity, scope, and professional performance
    • CV: your current CV, which must match your LinkedIn profile
    • Personal Statement: a text of up to 1,000 characters with a brief description of the case and you
    • Cover Letter: if the case is complex, this letter should explain what each document in the case means
  • All of your official documents will be collected and prepared:
    • Work contracts
    • Investment agreements
    • Certificates of employment
    • Other documents, depending on the specifics of the case
  • We will set up several Zoom calls, fill in the submission form together, upload the completed documents, and you’ll pay the Tech Nation’s submission fee
  • After this, we’ll wait for a response from the Tech Nation. The average processing time is 6−8 weeks. There is no way to speed up the review period
    • If the answer is yes, we will send you instructions and guides with help before and after the move
    • If the answer is no, we will prepare an appeal, and this normally takes 2−3 days
How Long Does It Take?
  • Red Bishops Timeline:

    • If you have a good public profile, we can build the case within 3−4 weeks
    • If your public profile requires improvement, we can still build your case in 3−4 weeks, but your profile enhancement can take 1−4 months to build, depending on the amount of work required
  • Tech Nation Timeline:

    • The average processing time is 6−8 weeks. Sometimes it can take 2 weeks, and sometimes it can take 10 weeks. This only depends on Tech Nation’s workload, and there is no way to influence the timeframe
