Stage 1 waiting times?

Endorsed for Talent. This is for people who are worried about edits. Submitted home office 5th December. But I completed the online submission for Technation on 9th December 2022. Received endorsement on 7th Feb 2023, after 8 weeks completed. I had no edits all through 8 weeks. I had no emails from Technation or home office all through 8 weeks. Thank you

woohoo!! got the email this morning saying I am endorsed for Exceptional Promise. What an anticlimactic email haha

I have been asking a few times about edits in this forum. I ended up emailing tech nation on March 28th to ask about status. They got back the next day saying that my application was being processed. Soon after I saw my first edit. (hadn’t seen one edit since I applied on the 16th of Feb). March 29th a second edit and then got the endorsement email today.

Now sights are set on stage 2, from what I can tell that’s almost a 100% acceptance rate but feels weird celebrating without the actual visa.

For those who are curious here is my application

Pleaase review my application for exceptional promise:)

Hello everyone, has anyone gotten any endorsement since last week?

[aaliyu]

Submitted on the 21st March 2023, got first edit this morning.
Fingers crossed!

@sakeyehp

I understand that we are all curiously waiting and all that. We need to not read too much meaning to edits as the person here got endorsed after 4 edits. I also know a friend who got rejection after 3 edits. It is hard to wait but then there is not much we can do about things that are seemingly out of our control than to hope for the best. Moreso, it can be hard to even track these edits as two edits can indeed be done in less than 5 minutes. I observed the same pattern on my application.

Submitted 7th March,
1st edit 13th March
2nd and 3rd edit 16th March (17:33 and 17:37 GMT)
