Tier 1 and Exempt vignettes are not the same. What do you mean by ‘MVP’?

Have you got a link to where you looked it up? If our resident pro BiP doesn't recognise it under that name, it may be helpful so that he can assist you further.

If you mean 'MVF' then that won't apply to you as a civilian. You would be regarded as a 'relevant civilian employee'.

This status does not lead to settlement nor does it permit you to work for anyone else or to study. You can remain in the UK for a maximum of four years. That notwithstanding I find the whole proposition very odd on a number of fronts, particularly the idea of you being able to self-sponsor and that your US government employer would be happy for you to attend university or take a second job. I would proceed with caution.
