GTV Application referral for to the Endorsing Body - Please Advise

[DrUni]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone knows how long it takes to get an email notification from the Home Office about GTV application documents being referred to the Endorsing Body (i.e. British Academy) once you submit your stage 1 application? It has been 4 days and nothing is communicated by the Home Office. Any advise or sharing previous experience would be immensely appreciated.

Regards

Hi,

It took me one week to get email from home office that they sent it to BA and then 3 more weeks to get the final endorsement email. All this happened in last one month. Hope that helps.

Best wishes,

Hi @sg25
Thanks very much for your response. Would you mind sharing your timeline for Stage 1 and Stage 2. And what is your area of endorsement?

Many thanks

Could you please let me know how long your Stage 2 GTV visa application took to process?

Many thanks

Thanks, @DrUni. It's still going on. I'll update once I have any outcome.

I have also asked my query but it is urgent and not sure if someone can reply on a weekend.

Best of luck for your application.

Hi @SG25

Thanks very much for your response. I have an additional question about Biometric data (Fingerprints). I noticed from one of your other posts that you mentioned booking TLS Contact appointment. Given that you are switching from Skilled Worker Visa. When you applied for GTV stage 2 ( did they ask you to resubmit your Biometric data again?

Many thanks
