CURRENT Stage 1 Waiting time 2026

Dear All.

I have submitted my application on 07.01.2026. Home office asked to to send all documents to their email which i submitted on 08.01.2016 on GlobalTalentEndorsements@homeoffice.gov.uk… I received confirmation email after 1 minute.
I want to ask

  1. how many days home office takes currently to forward the documents to Technation?
  2. Over all how many days it will take to get decision as per current senerios?
    Would love to get response fro moderators and applicants who were in same process and got decisions currently

Honestly, no one can say exactly how many days it takes. It depends on a lot of factors, or instance, whether the documents were submitted close to a weekend or public holiday, internal admin delays, or even unforeseen system issues.

The same applies to Tech Nation. Every application is different. While some people hear back in as little as 3 days, others wait weeks. It often comes down to workload at the time and how straightforward or convincing the application is.The best advice, in my opinion, is to relax, hope for the best, and at the same time prepare for the worst. The process is rarely predictable.

All the best.

Wondering the same thing, as I just submitted mine today. Best of luck to you!!

Obviously this isn’t tactically helpful, but for my sanity… I set a reminder for 3 weeks from today per the guidance in the auto-reply email, and I will do my best to try not to think about it too much until I get that reminder. :sweat_smile:

Reference for those wondering what the auto-reply email is upon sending all your documents to Tech Nation:

“AS YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS CONFIRMATION EMAIL DO NOT CHASE US TO CHECK YOUR DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. WE HAVE AN UNPRECEDENTED AMOUNT OF APPLICATIONS AND DECISIONS WE ARE WORKING THROUGH AND CANNOT RESPOND TO CHASER EMAILS. ONCE WE PROCESS YOUR APPLICATION OR DECISION WE WILL CONTACT YOU. WE APOLOGISE FOR THE DELAY.”
