Priority visa doesn't always mean they will return the passport within 5 days. They may take up to 15 working days before returning your passport. If it helps, the following is my timeline:
1. Applied for Endorsement to Tech City: 18th August
2. Got the endorsement from Tech City: 23rd August
3. Applied for stage 2 visa from out of the UK (I couldn't have switched from the UK since I was on a Tier 4 visa): 6th September
4. Submitted passport and biometrics through priority visa: 19th September
5. Processed application: 27th September
6. Passport received: 7th October
Hope that helps!
I didn't have to give TB test but that would be for stage 2 of the application not stage 1. Remember that stage 1 is NOT an immigration application. You will first need an endorsement and then you have three months to apply for stage 2.

I must add that in my experience, it can take upto 3 to 4 weeks at most based on other timelines on this forum and on the internet. How long ago did you submit your docs for endorsement?rogerkupper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 4:24 pmDid it really take you 3 days to get your endorsement? Or the timelines you gave are not right.

Have patience and good luck!rogerkupper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 4:33 pmWow that was really a fast turnover. I sent mine in a couple of days ago and haven't received any confirmation from HO yet. Applying from the UK. Arranged my docs in a sequence also. Fingers crossed. This has got to be the most painstaking wait i have ever gone through![]()
