Stage 1
2383

Same here. Submitted 11th November and was referred to TN 21st November. No other update.

2384

Applied November 17, referred to TN on the 25th. Waiting for an update. Can we expect an update before Christmas?

2385

Has anyone submitted Stage 1 and is waiting?? I submitted on 2nd Dec and am still waiting. No emails, nothing yet.

  1. Have completed the application on the Home Office website
  2. Sent my evidence to GlobalTalentEndorsements@homeoffice.gov.uk

Is that it? Anything else I need to do??

2386

Has it been referred to Tech Nation…? There seem to be a delay at the moment.

2387

I haven’t received a referred email as yet. Is it normal??

2388

There are delays; I applied on Nov 25th, and it was just referred to Tech nation 4 days ago, on Dec 11th.
Waiting for the decision.

Thank you & all the best to you @Moustafa_Aboelnaga

2391

Anyone applied between 29th Nov - 5th Dec had their application forwarded to Technation yet?

2392

Applied 2nd Dec. Not yet forwarded to TN. You??

2394

Update: TechNation just responded about forwarding my application to TechNation.
Unfortunately, i messed up added 2 extra documents (proof of directorship at company) and they chased me to ask which documents had to be forwarded to TechNation.

So they are getting through 30th Nov Queue at the moment.

Does this mean i am now at the back of queue? and i should consider my application date now to be 19th Dec?

2395

Did you get an update on your application?

2396

I submitted my application on the 2nd of January. I just got an email that it has been referred to Tech Nation today.
