I applied on May 12th, still waiting.

I got my endorsement today. From May 25 to June 13. I got Exceptional talent even though I applied for exceptional promise. This is my second attempt after the first one was rejected.

Well done! I applied the same day as you so I’m of course picking my brain to try and figure out the rhyme and reason for various response times! Fingers crossed, my anxiety can’t handle it :slight_smile:

I’m assuming the Home Office only sends emails during standard business hours? Does anyone know? I ask because that will keep me from compulsively checking my email past Friday 5p GMT! :slight_smile:

Did you apply for exceptional promise or talent? I applied on 28th May for exceptional talent (from within the UK) and I am still waiting for a response.

Talent, from outside the UK….

8pm UK time? Never heard of this. Most people get their emails around 1pm UK time but mostly week days business hours
