Good morning all.
All the insights shared here have been most helpful.
Well done!

Lecturership offer in a UK Uni.
All documents submitted including POF as employer did not tick first month maintenance on COS.
Additional documents request email received from UKVI requesting for POF document supposedly scanned at VI contact centre. Document resent same day of request.
Document used is my savings statement from current organisation (University) staff cooperative multipurpose building society, which is registered. UkVI website states building society accounts are acceptable.
It's been a week and no response. Resumption is early May.

Collection email April 20th
BRP email April 22nd
All the best to everyone on the journey.

For lectureship, if you have a PhD, you could have explored the Global Talent (Researcher route). However, that's too late now. Just await the Skilled Worker visa outcome.
When on ground in the UK, explore switching to the Global Talent (researcher) while still with the same employer (uni). You don't need a new COS sponsorship.

This is great info. Thank you.

Skilled visa has SLA of 3 weeks all thing being equal....ibut UKVI can be unreliable with keeping to their own SLA..... if u are in a hurry and ur application has passed 3 weeks...u can send a paid mail asking how far...

Thank you for your reply.
It's not 3 weeks yet. I'll take your advice and wait it out. Hopefully, there won't be need for paid email.
