Stage 1 waiting times?

Yeah just like I mentioned they still haven’t attended to 4th of January

I was referred 4th and haven’t received a decision yet
Same as @kontrol
So 12th of January might still be in a couple weeks
I don’t know really

Yeah no pressure
26th of January is still quite fresh

If you look at the speed at which they send out decisions these days

We’re currently in week 7 without a decision yet.(for those of us that got referred 4th of January)

Did anyone get results today?

I have exactly the same timeline as @pratush_divali, who was recently endorsed for Exceptional Talent. I applied under Exceptional Promise, and I haven’t received a decision yet.

My Timeline (Exceptional Promise):
• Applied: December 26
• Referred to Tech Nation: January 7
• Full Stack Software Developer and Founder profile
• Applying inside the UK

This Wednesday (Feb 18) will make it 6 weeks post‑referral. I’ve been a silent reader of this forum since I applied, so I thought I’d finally add my voice and share my timeline as well.

I wanted to add, the reason why I didn’t really care too much about timelines is that, two applications with the same referral date very much differs because all of us applying have completely different profiles, career and evidences, which as a result means:

• Different reviewer availability

• Different expertise pools (AI vs fintech vs healthtech vs product), or Technical applicants vs Non-technical applicants

• Different internal moderation schedules

• Different complexity of evidence

• Different queue timing before active review

• Different administrative batching

• Different senior sign-off timing

So, it’s not a first come first serve process and hence timelines cannot help anyone predict when they’ll get their own decision or what type of decision it’ll be.

Yup. I was not endorsed. Kinda figured i did it wrong but will be filing again shortly. Is there a wait time before reapplying?

Sorry to hear that.

From your previous posts, as far as I can see, you applied on 30 December and received the referral email on 11 January under Exceptional Talent.

Have you received your decision today?

If possible, could you also share any feedback you received from Tech Nation?

Thanks, and all the best with your second application.

Your application got rejected today ?

They focused on lack of national/international credibility.

Yes, just today. Coming back with stronger strategy in 2 weeks as long it is allowed.

Sorry about that brother
If you can share with us the proforma

We’d appreciate so we can also learn from it

@Strategist are you not appealing? I don’t think there is any limitation about not applying immediately

Are you it’s not on a first come , first serve basis ? You seem to understand the process quite well.

It’s good to know you are applying from inside the UK . I am also applying from inside the UK .
Meanwhile , I noticed most people that have gotten positive feedback this year applied from outside UK .

It’s not strictly a FCFS basis
But in most cases accessors start working on files in the order they come into the system
Accessor speed matters.
The only difference is some cases become faster when they’re clearer than others within the same cohort
Which can lead to either fast endorsement or fast rejection

Did anybody hear back today? I know that few people post 4th Jan referral have heard back. Apart form @pratush_divali , did anyone else get endorsed? Is there anyone before 5th Jan but haven’t heard back yet?

9 weeks post application! Is there anyone who has seen this kind of timeline? Do we wait till 10 weeks to reach out to home office? Since people who were referred post us have already started to receive results, can we reach out?
