Can you share your proforma too ?
Sorry to hear that. Hope you get approved on appeal
@Scott_Waddell sorry to hear, hope the review brings positive result. What were the reasons for rejection?
It means there is a mistake from Home office that they mentionee to Tech Nation to asses as Exceptional Talent where as you appllied for Exceptional promise…Exceptional talent bar is higher than Exceptional Promise…You need to as home office for review as Promise because its a mistake from them…
Another day today! Hopefully we all got good news today. All the best to those awaiting results

The confidence in which you say this is funny. All this unnecessary speculation and delays only started when applicants were told to stop using Tech Nation’s survey monkey form to submit evidence. Previously, people just keep getting anxiety checking the number of edits on the TN form. Now is assumptions on how decisions are sent. Endorsement decisions are dependent on how quick an assessor reviews your evidence. If an assessor for your field is slower or your application is "complex, they take their time to do checks, make their inference and document why it is being refused. For straightforward applications where an applicant has many trails of evidence online that confirms they are exceptional, an endorsement decision can be made same day. Since home office started processing evidence such fast decisions still take some time to get to the applicant because of the volume of applications and few number of staff working in the non-sponsored work area. So relax, if your application is solid, you will get endorsed, if it is not, you will get a feedback to work on. All the best!

I think it’s natural to speculate given historically results were coming quicker than this. Most other orgs eg USCIS have tracker in place and are more predictable.
Be it edits or some other parameter, people are just looking for reaffirmations.
This is 4th week after referral for most of us, overall 6 weeks post application

6 weeks post application is fine. As it stands you start counting from when you application was referred. For TN application is now takes 5-8 weeks to get a decision. The holiday season also meant applications debt in late December will experience additional delays. Application turn around may improve by march time. The again if more people are applying than usual, decisions may be slower.
Did anyone receive updates?
