Stage 1 waiting times?

Hi Shiva, don’t be worried. Mine took almost 3 weeks before it was transferred to TN. Just be patient; the waiting time seems to have increased recently. Stay positive. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

Thank you. Did you receive any acknowledgment or confirmation email from the Home Office after sending evidences?

Whats your application date bro?

@shiva_shanker Yeah, you should receive an automated mail a few minutes after sending your document to HO.

I didn’t get any automated email (checked spam too). Did this happen recently for anyone who got an endorsement or who was referred to Tech Nation from HO?

This happened to me. I am worried and already thinking of resending

As far as I know, if you resend your documents, it takes longer than it usually does. I sent a follow-up email to them, and they said they received it and I was waiting for the mail referring to Tech Nation.

Was thinking of sending a follow up email as i didn’t get the acknowledgement email as well .

Anyone awaiting appeal decision here?

Is it past 28 days? Appeal decision takes 28 days.

Just sharing my endoresement timeline so it helps others:

31st Oct, 2025: Submitted Stage 1 Application (also ticked the box that I am applying for Stage 2 at same time as Stage 1).
17th Nov, 2025: Received Home Office email notification that application has been referred to Tech Nation.
24th Nov, 2025: Received Home Office email notification that Tech Nation endorsed my application for exceptional talent.

Stage 2 update here.

All the best to everyone else, happy to answer any questions.

Just put in my application for Global Talent Promise

Haven’t received the forward email / referred to Tech Nation yet. But i assume the waiting times have gone up due to the holidays.
