Tech Nation, timeline for Stage 1

Hi all,

How fast did you receive notice of endorsement from Tech Nation during stage 1?

My advisor says it normally takes 2-3 weeks. And one of my colleagues was rejected in less than 2 weeks in December 2018.

It takes much longer for my application, which makes me a bit nervous. It is still within the official limit of 25 working days, but .. well..

Any extra information helps. Thank you in advance!

I applied twice. First time I got quick reject: got a confirmation "forwarded to tech nation" 15 Nov, rejected 29 Nov. Second time was longer, but successful: confirmation 8 Dec, got an endorsement 16 Jan.

Good luck!

Oh, that was a long wait! But it is reassuring and really good to know.

Thanks for your help! I'll do my best to sit tight and keep waiting.

nickp, you had only one week before the second attempt. Could you tell us more about reasons behind the first rejection and what did you change in a such a short period? :)

I've just got the endorsement letter with positive decision. Happy days!

Application referred to Tech Nation: 9 Jan 2019
Endorsement letter received: 2 Feb 2019

Interestingly enough, the Home Office team works on Saturdays.

Good luck!

Dear All,

I have submitted all the documents for Technation Endorsement. The Home office forwarded to Technation on 24th July 2019. So its been 21 days so 15 working days now. So just curious.... I hope they don't reject my application for endrosement
My assumption is if i was rejected by technation then I guess I would have already received the notification from home office considering the no of days as of today 14th August


Best,
Ibrahim

Hi

My application was also forwarded on 24th July. No news yet, it was filed under fast track.
I too noticed it usually takes 21-25 for successful applications but just an assumption to wait in Happy mood.
Please share in case you hear anything on application.

Regards

August 10th: applied for Tier 1 (Exceptional Promise), fast track.
August 14th: received confirmation from the Home Office.
September 4th, in 15 working days: endorsed for Exceptional Promise.

This forum has helped a lot, so posting my info on time for Stage 1 application (Exceptional Talent, no fast track selected as it was on the border line IMHO):
1. Submission of the application to Tech Nation (an application to the Home Office had been made earlier in advance): the late evening (post working hours) of the 21st of August 2019.
2. An letter with the endorsement received from the Home Office: the 11th of September 2019.

Has anyone submitted their application to Tech Nation at the end of September 2019?

I have submitted my application on 25 September 2019 and still have not received an acknowledgment from Home Office with my Unique Reference Number, is it normal or do I need to worry?

Hi Confusedesi

I dont think you should be worried, I guess they have a lot of applications at this moment. Hence, the delay.

I applied to the HO 4th Sept and didnt get URN until 16th Sept. My application is 17 working days since the date I got URN and I am yet to hear from the HO about the endorsement decision. Hopefully, i get t9 hear from them tomorrow which is the last day as i applied under fast track.

Goodluck with your application.

Hey Timowoju,

Thank you for your response!

I will wait patiently for URN to shared by the Home Office.

I would appreciate it if you can share the outcome and the reply date from Tech Nation.

All the best!

Hi All,

I submitted my application on 25 September 2019.
I have still not received any Unique Reference Number from Home Office. Do I need to worry about?

Is Unique Application Number and Unique Reference Number the same? While submitting my Home Office Application on 25 September 2019, the pdf with name and checklist contains Unique Application Number.

I am nervous and confused about what needs to be done next?

Cheers!
