It is the week of 3rd February.Frontier Mole wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 9:07 pmThe usual turnaround is 8 weeks from application. However if the potential sponsor is identified as needing a compliance visit prior to the decision to grant or refuse then the process is likely to be delayed. COVID has had an obvious impact and the usual visiting landscape has changed.
The potential sponsor will be made aware that there will be a delay in making the decision, this is usually because they are gathering more information or that there is a visit.
Do you know when the company applied for the licence?
Thank you, Karimkarimov
Thank you for your information, Manci. I checked the GOV website, it said they started the priority service for license applications now.

According to the HR who is applying for the licence, there is a priority service at the moment. She needs to move their application at midnight for the service. So I can't really explain it clearly. I will probably ask more when I get my visa to work there and update it here.Frontier Mole wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 11:21 pmThe priority service offering to expedite a new licence application is very limited in its scope, I am not even sure it is being offered at this time because of COVID.
