Please, those who received their feedback from TN (endorsement /rejection) . How long did it take TN to contact your recommenders after you submitted your application.
It usually wont exceed 28 days

What happens if the recommenders didn’t reply ASAP? Application delayed? Because I heard some people got feedback the next day of submitting their application on TN site
Received my visa yesterday 29th of August. Biometrics was on the 3rd of August

@alex_james @Francisca_Chiedu Interesting! I didn’t realise TN would 100% be contacting recommenders. Makes sense of course. Probably best to reach out and ask them to keep an eye out for it. Do they do it via email? Also any idea at what point in the process they do it? Eg after 1st edit, 2nd edit, etc?
Congratulations!! I submitted my application on 11th August 2022 still waiting also availed the priority service still no luck.
How do you know. Your recommenders informed you? Unfortunately, I received 4th edit yesterday 
@alexnels did TN call your recommenders. None of my recommenders receives any call or email from TN.
@alex_james - let me clarify, I have not heard that TN has contacted my recommenders. I was responding to your earlier post asking how it worked… It appears we don’t know if TN does this or not.

I don’t think they do. Someone who got the visa said they didn’t call his own recommenders. This makes it difficult to know how TN works. Imagine if I used Elon musk as one of my recommenders 
without even informing him. I watched a YouTube video where someone paid a newspaper agency just to have her name and what she did. She’s even proud to say it on her channel. Some people decided to do training just to process their applications. These are not the excellent way to review documents to be honest. It’s just how you can story tell your life. That’s all I can say.

However, I am still waiting on the dependant visas for my wife/son, so can’t celebrate yet.

If you use Elon without informing him, it is not hard to tell when you are lying. Besides tech nation has your documents saved for 6 years or so. If it found to be fraudulent then your endorsement can be withdrawn.
It’ll be easy to tell if you used someone far away from your level. For someone of elon’s caliber to endorse you, it would show on your profile, experience, links, location, type of company you’ve worked for. There will also be some kind of consistency with your own status and the status of your other recommenders.
Going by the assessors remarks that I’ve seen so far, you can tell that they are really smart people and they can figure out inconsistencies and patterns.
