Stage 1 waiting times?

Here’s my timeline so far:

Submitted my docs on May 3 (Talent)
Referred to TN on May 17

From previous updates by other applicants, I assume my decision will take somewhere between 4 - 5 weeks

I submitted my application on April 21. On May 11, I received an email requesting a document correction, and I corrected it and sent it back the same day. On May 13, I received an email saying that my application had been forwarded to Tech Nation.(promise)

Hi all,
I applied May 5th 2026, its May 20th and still waiting for Home Office to forward my application to Tech Nation.
When I emailed them, they simply said
‘We have your application and will officially confirm receipt once processed.’
It is taking some time…

Applied on 3rd may and sent docs on 5th may. No communication yet

Hi! I didn’t even get the automated email and am very worried now. Is the right email GlobalTalentEndorsements@homeoffice.gov.uk ?

Yes, that’s the correct email. I assume you followed the instructions too:

The subject line of the email must include the applicant’s:

  • unique application number (UAN) - this is 16 numbers starting with 1212
  • name
  • date of birth
  • Endorsing Body’s name - this is the Endorsing Body you are applying to

Ideally you should get the automated email within a few minutes of sending your first set of documents. Could you check your spam folder?
