Stage 1 waiting times?

Upd. 4th edit: June 27, 18:46 London time.
5th edit: June 28, late evening

Seems it’s not good

Rejected. Meet 0/3 criteries. Exceptional, outside the UK.

Here is my timeline if it’d be helpful:
Aplied: May 17
1st edit: June 7
2nd edit: June 21
3rd edit June 24(thought they do not work on Saturdays)
4th edit: June 27, 18:46 London time.
5th edit: June 28, late evening
6th edit: June 29, late evening

Rejected: June 30.

Here is my timeline so far

Exceptional Promise

Applied - May 27
First Edit - Jun 12
Second Edit - Jun 13
Third Edit - June 25
Fourth Edit - July 1
Fifth Edit - July 2

Is more than 3 edits a bad sign?

2nd July was a Sunday, are you sure they even worked over the weekend?

Yeah, the 25th of June was a Saturday. I got a couple of edits today too.

First Edit - Jun 12
Second Edit - Jun 13
Third Edit - June 25
Fourth Edit - July 1
Fifth Edit - July 2
Sixth Edit - July 3
Seventh Edit - July 3

It follows a pattern similar to many rejections, wondering what the outcome would be this time.

Hi all

I have been following this thread for a bit

I have made an error in applying for OC2 and OC3. I discussed with immigration lawyer and they suggested that I should have done OC1 and OC3. Now the evidence/application cannot be edited but I have an option to appeal. Would someone be able to help me put together a re-appeal? Alternatively, open to suggestions if anyone knows any past precedence of changing OC criteria during re-appeal.

Happy to share application here or elsewhere.

Got the 8th edit today.

Congratulations @Xubo_Liu

@Tawiah what is the 3 edits curse ?

According to theoretical speculation from this thread, the likelihood of receiving endorsement diminishes significantly beyond three edits, despite a few cases. There appears to be an inverse relationship between the number of edits on your application and the probability of obtaining an endorsement.

That sounds about right. I got my rejection mail yesterday.

Oh no. Are you appealing?

dang @007 your app looked good via that post. what was the feedback? Did you use an attorney to help prep?

So sorry, are you going to appeal?

@Himanshi_s feel free to DM me for a free advice. I appealed by myself and got the endorsement. I think my advice would help you.

This is my little way of giving back to this lovely community for their insightful contents here. I don’t regret reading almost every chat/post here.

Best regards,
Andrew

Just got my endorsement. Edit pattern for those who believe in it:

28 Jun 2023 submitted
29 Jun 2023 first edit
3 Jul 2023 second edit
10 Jul 2023 third** edit / endorsement

** From July 6th onward I did not check the edits. So it’s possible I could have had extra edits in there.

Thanks for all the help here. Onto stage 2.
