Initial Tier 1 (£200,000 Route) processing delay

Post by hmd13 » Thu May 23, 2019 12:51 pm

Hi members,

I have applied for the initial £200,000 application on 3rd April and I had been interviewed on 29th April. Since then, I haven't received any news and the escalation emails with Home Office wasn't helpful at all. I am wondering if any of you knows about the reason of this delay and have any information about the time line? Is anyone experiencing same situation?

Thanks

It could take several weeks or even months depending on the application. Every application is unique and will be decided on its own merit. Experiences of others will not be much relevant to your case as each case is unique :!:
The timeline post on top of the forum gives you a good estimate on what kind of timeframe to expect in general.

Thank you Zimba for your reply.
The timeline post in forum is more about the extension applications. There are no information about someone applying in late March - early April 2019. Just wanted a heads up about other's cases who applied in that period of time.
Many thanks.

The route is closed so most are not initial. The timeline of others, as repeatedly reminded here, does not provide any clues on your case or its timeline. :!:
Wait to hear back
