about ambott

Talent visa mentorship for people who have already done the hard part

You have built a career worth recognizing. We help you turn it into a clear, verifiable case for a talent visa in the US, the UK or Australia, and then hand it to a licensed professional to file.

why we exist

Talented people kept losing to paperwork

The people who qualify for talent visas are rarely short of achievements. What they lack is time, and a way to turn a career’s worth of work into evidence a stranger can verify in one sitting.

We started Ambott to do exactly that. We began with the EB-1A green card USA route, then added the UK global talent visa and Australia’s National Innovation Visa 858 once it was clear the same record could be argued three ways. We read the record, pick the route, build the file and hand it to a licensed professional to file.

Behind every approval is a body of evidence: a patent, an article in a respected outlet, a judging invitation, a salary that stands out. Most of that evidence already exists. Applicants often just can’t see it, or can’t present it in the form an officer or endorsing body expects. We exist to close that gap.

what we do

One record. Three routes. A mentor beside you.

Talent visa mentorship means we don’t just review your documents. We work with you over weeks and months to strengthen your profile where it needs strengthening, then present it clearly. We map your record against each route and tell you honestly where it stands.

United States

EB-1A and the special talent visa USA

The EB-1A is an employment-based green card for people with extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics. It is often called the special talent visa USA or the talent visa in the US. You can usually self-petition, so no employer sponsor or job offer is needed. A petition generally has to meet at least three of ten regulatory criteria and then pass an overall assessment of your standing in the field. We help you decide which criteria are your strongest, build the evidence for each, and shape the narrative around them.

United Kingdom

UK Global Talent visa

The global talent visa, also called UK global talent, is for leaders and emerging leaders in academia and research, arts and culture, and digital technology. It replaced the old Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa, and many people still search for it by that name. The global talent visa requirements involve an endorsement from an approved body, then a visa application. We help you prepare for both stages, including the UK exceptional talent and exceptional promise routes, so you know where you stand before you apply.

Australia

Visa 858, the National Innovation Visa

The National Innovation Visa 858 is Australia’s permanent visa for people with an internationally recognized record of achievement in their field. If you’ve searched for visa 858 Australia, talent visa Australia 858 or global talent visa Australia requirements, this is the route that now applies. It offers permanent residency for those with a standout record and the potential to contribute to Australia’s economy and community. We assess your fit, build your supporting evidence and prepare you for the nomination and application stages.

what we build with you

Evidence is made, not just found

Most strong applicants have more evidence than they realize and fewer documented achievements than they need. Our mentors work with you to close the difference, ethically and without exaggeration.

Press and media coverage

Officers and endorsing bodies look for independent recognition. We help you identify genuine, newsworthy angles in your work and prepare for interviews and expert commentary. We also advise on how to pitch relevant trade, industry and mainstream outlets. We never buy placements or fabricate coverage, and we steer you away from paid “as featured in” schemes that carry little weight with adjudicators.

Patents and original contributions

We help you recognize which of your inventions, methods, products or research count as original contributions of major significance. Where it’s appropriate and you have a real invention, we connect you with patent professionals.

Publications and scholarly work

We help you present your articles, citations, books and conference papers so their impact is obvious, and we help you identify the right venues for new work.

Judging and peer review

Being asked to assess others’ work is strong evidence of standing. We show you how to find reviewer, panel, jury and advisory opportunities that match your level.

Expert recommendation letters

Strong letters come from independent experts who can speak specifically about your impact. We help you identify the right recommenders, brief them, and structure letters that are specific, credible and consistent with the rest of your file.

Memberships and awards

We help you work out which memberships, prizes and fellowships carry real weight in your field and which don’t.

Leadership, salary and commercial success

For business and technology applicants, we help you document your critical roles, compensation relative to peers, funding raised, revenue and measurable impact.

how we work

Four principles we will not trade

They decide which cases we take, how we build them and what we tell you when the answer is not yet.

01

Honest before hopeful

If a route is not realistic yet, we say so in writing, and tell you what would change the answer.

02

Evidence over volume

Ten documents that each prove something beat a hundred that merely exist. Every exhibit gets a job.

03

One record, portable

We build a master file once, so a second country is mostly tailoring rather than starting again.

04

Law stays with lawyers

Strategy and drafting are ours. Legal advice and filing stay with licensed professionals in each country.

who we work with

Founders, researchers, creators and specialists

We mentor people across fields: scientists and academics, engineers and AI practitioners, founders and executives, physicians, artists, designers, filmmakers, writers and athletes. If you are exploring how to apply for the global talent visa, comparing the global talent stream with the global talent scheme in other countries, or wondering whether you qualify for a talent visa in the UK, we can tell you where you stand.

We are not a fit if you want a guaranteed outcome, a template filing or manufactured credentials. No honest advisor can promise approval.
