You can check it straight away, if you start your stage 2 application on the gov.uk website. Once you pay the IHS, you fill a few more details and will be asked to book an appointment for doc scanning.

Edit: I did call the UKVI support on the 3rd to check on the status of my application as I need to travel soon.
Hi, at what stage do you get a priority option when applying for Stage 2 when applying from inside the UK? I only got a standard service option when paying the application fees.
@khushg you will get it when you are booking the biometrics appointment
Hello.
I wonder if anyone is waiting for approval from UKVI.
What are your timelines? Please share.
Three weeks have passed since my application was submitted.
Thanks
@OceanicT the official timeline is upto 8 weeks.
Hi,
Just gave my biometrics yesterday for Stage 2. I wanted to know whether we will get a new BRP or directly e-Visa given physical BRPs to be discontinued?
Hi @OceanicT I’m waiting for approval. Applied 31st Oct so I guess I have a bit of a wait ahead of me.
did you get your visa?
Still waiting. Anyone else here applied in the UK in the last 2-3 weeks and still waiting?
Applied on 4th Nov , still waiting
Biometrics: Nov 19
Confirmation from Home Office: Nov 21
did you apply via priority?
No I applied standard.
so you got the result in two days?
Did you apply inside the UK?
Yes - applied from inside the UK.
Hi! While there may be some delays due to the current situation, the Global Talent Visa processing is still likely moving forward. Hang in there, and hopefully, your visa will be issued soon! Stay positive!
Anyone recently hearing back on stage 2? (within the UK) or still waiting?
Based on very little data it sounds like the process is slowed down a bit I’m on the third week waiting.
