Stage 2 Timeline

Post by box11 » Thu Jul 16, 2020 11:39 am

Has anyone had their Stage 2 Application processed recently and, if so, would you mind sharing timelines. Submitted first week of June in the UK and have heard nothing.

I am assuming this is for Global Talent Stage 2?

Yes, it's Stage 2 Global Talent. Biometrics appointment today. Just curious if anyone knows how long it is taking for decision after biometrics given the current Covid delays.

I submitted a Global Talent stage 2 application back in April.
Went for biometrics in Croyden on Friday (14th August). I don't have any updates yet, but I will post when I receive anything :).

Hi All,

Just wanted to update here time timelines. I registered my biometric on 18th August and received decision today. So it's fairly quick.

Thanks

Hi Pooshu,
Thanks for sharing! That's insanely quick! (Slightly wondering about mine though :D ).
What does the decision letter look like? Do they email it to you? And do they tell you whether it was successful?

Thanks

Do you mind sharing when you submitted State 2 application? Biometric appointment on August 14th but still haven't heard. I'm curious if perhaps they are sending decisions based on date of State 2 application rather than just biometrics.

Ryno,
I still sadly have no update. How about you? I can't discern if there is any system in how they are processing Stage 2 GT.

My situation is wierld. I applied on the 24th of April, my dependants on the 8th of May, 2020 for the Global talent exceptional visa stage 2. I was not allowed for the biometric captures when TLS resumed on teh 28th of July due to TLS saying they need clearance from UK home office since my 30-days had expired. My dependants-Wife n 2 kids did on the 28th while while i was called the following day on the 29th of July, 2020.

My dependants visa came out since 24th of August while mine is still pending. Hopefully this week, mine will be out since we are all travelling together.

Hi ,

I submitted my Stage 2 application for Global Talent switch in country on 21st July, got mail for biometric reuse on 06th August. Haven't heard back from UKVCAS since then. Haven't got access to IDV App for ID verification yet.

Is there anyone in similar situation?

Not the same but I submitted my biometrics in person on August 14th as in in country switch (submitted stage 2 application June 1st) and haven't received a decision or any communication at all. So while a different situation, the lack of communication is the same.

Congrats on getting a decision! Has anyone received a decision after using the IDV app? I applied for stage 2 on 24/4 with no dependents

My GTV stage 2 online application was submitted (& IHS fee paid) on 01 July 2020
Biometrics done through IDV app on Aug 28, 2020.
Still waiting for a decision.

Did you switch from Tier 2?

No update. Submitted biometrics via IDV app on 28/8. I think it is the app that is holding me up.
