I wrote to Tech Nation asking for clarification. Here's their reply.. "The trigger point for the start of the 18 working days (for Fast Track) or 25 working days (standard) is from the day we at Tech Nation, receive the application sent over from the Home Office to when we return with the decision ...

As per my understanding, the Section 3C protection will only be available when you apply for a visa. Not when you apply for endorsement to Tech Nation. Is there a difference of opinion here?

Does the clock start ticking from the date of online form submission, receipt of physical documents by the Home Office or forwarding of the documents from Home Office to Tech Nation? The timeline is extremely critical for me since my current visa expires towards the end of October. Also, does Tech ...

Does the processing time start from the day the electronic application is submitted or when they receive the physical papers?

@pdl, my bad. I was working on the wrong form. Thanks for pointing it out.

Tech Nation website asks for filling the Home Office application before filling the Tech Nation form. https://technation.io/visa/ The Home Office form asks for the date on which the relevant competent body (Tech Nation) has endorsed you! Can someone suggest how to get out of this quandary? Or am I ...

Any rumors on whether the visa process is going to become easier or more difficult?

Is there someone who has got the endorsement in the exceptional talent (not exceptional promise) category? What are the points on which to build the profile on?
