Exactly 3 weeks after I submitted, I was endorsed for Exceptional Talent today. I guess the turnaround time now is 3 weeks

Applied on 13th April and still waiting…

Guys it’s worth following up with tech nation as I am already in the third week now …

Officially it takes 8weeks. Besides you follow-up with the home office not Tech Nation.

Your application was done through the home office, they may respond by the fourth week.

But in most cases as I read through others comments , the response is given in 3 weeks max , although officially it’s 8 weeks , hence the curiosity

Hey guys,
Just got my endorsement for Talent yesterday:). Applied on April, 11, received after 3 weeks +2 days (though there were 3 bank holidays within this period).
Hope this helps.

I applied also 11 April, I’m still waiting…

Same here … yet to receive

Have you received your endorsement?

I rejected for oc3:/ I am going to apply for review…

So sorry about that, @Taner_Basli
what reason did they give for the rejection?

Sorry about it , what was the reason and when did you get a response ?

Candidate provides evidence of a their career in IT however the evidence of their work seems to entirely lie
around solutions/service/process architecture/delivery/outsourcing at Infosys, which is specifically excluded as a
specialism in the Tech Nation guidelines.
The various third party evidence provided of press is highlighting the projects themselves not the candidate’s own
significance in the projects.
The evidence around OC3 is not sufficient to show the impact of the candidate’s work or the significance of their
contributions. Under the Exceptional Talent guidelines the candidate does not provide sufficient evidence of the
innovative nature of the work or how they might be considered a leading talent. Their work and reference letters
point to a career performing IT projects but nothing that would otherwise identify them as a top innovator or
contributing to innovation significantly.
The candidate’s professional references are primarily from their work done in the service/consultancy field and the
referrers themselves do not have senior or international standing themselves as required by the guidelines.
Therefore due to insufficient evidence the candidate cannot be endorsed at this time

Wish you all the best!! Btw when did you get a response as I am still waiting?

Any one applied in May? How’s the waiting time look like now?
