Stage 1 waiting times?

Hey @rohan_mitra, sorry to bug you again, but did you hear back? My referred date was 1st June, but I have not heard back from them.

I think you need to wait at least 4 weeks to hear from tech nation with the patterns that I have seen so far from here. Just give it time you will definitely get a feedback. Wish you all the best.

You can appeal if you meet the criteria

Hey guys! It’s been 7 weeks for me now. I applied on 12 May and was referred on 1 June.

Anyone else with the same timeline? and still waiting ?

Hey @kkush - any update?

A tech investor in my network submitted under Talent (non-technical applicant) and was approved. The below was her schedule, applying from the UK.

May 22nd applied
June 8th endorsed
June 19th sent a rush request to Global Talent bc of an emergency that required her to leave UK
June 22nd decision received
June 26th finger prints appointment
June 30 visa received and HMRC/Home Office website updated

I just applied under Exceptional Promise route early this AM (29 July), so will be curious to see how long it takes until referred to Tech Nation.

I have submitted the portfolio and documents on July 29th as well. Had submitted the form on July 14.

That’s great and so fast

Any updates on the endorsement

not heard back anything yet :frowning:

Hoping you’ll hear soon; 8 weeks from your referral email would have you at 27 July, so am sure you will get word shortly!

Don’t worry hoping to hear soon

Any update on your application? Has it been referred from the Home Office to Tech Nation yet?

Hi there! No update yet. I applied around 1am BST on the 29th July, so it’s only been about 4 days. Hoping it gets referred to TN soon, but the automated email does reiterate their current backlog and says not to reach out unless you haven’t had a referral after 4 weeks :upside_down_face:

Fair, would you mind keeping me posted? I applied on the same day. I can keep you informed as well.

Of course! Will let you know when I hear on the next step, and thanks for doing the same - in this together!

@Meghan_E any update?

Nothing yet! Will let you know when I hear. What about you?

@land_surfer just recieved the email that my application was referred to Tech Nation (today, 13 August), and that the 8 weeks for TN approval begins from here. Hopefully you’ve received the same?
