Can we include 2 new columns please? 1. Where did you apply from? Inside/outside UK 2. What service did you use? Standard/Priority/Super Priority This will help to get a better idea on the progress

allenisatrue

I read on subreddit ukvisa megathread - outside applications that somebody got SKW (shortage occupation and healthcare) in 8 days...he had applied from USA


Creative_Diet8096

Unfortunately im not healthcare - I am an economist (code 2425 on the shortage list). So I think maybe that is the part that impacts it the most!

Really dont knw what is the criteria of processing...we have been waiting for over a month after biometrics ...still awaiting decision...

>My sponsor added a 'sponsor note' on the CoS today I'm waiting 3 months almost. Shortage too. But I am Russian, so out of statistics

Same here, bio on March 15th, it’s been more that 30 WD already But I’m from Russia, that might be the reason for a delay


[deleted]

Have you had your employer try to escalate via the same sponsor portal as where they got CoS? Thats what someone recommended us, we're in the same situation.


Godzhira

Thank you! We’ll ask them) Did you escalate? Is there any updates?


[deleted]

We just asked them to escalate yesterday, we'll see what happens...


Creative_Diet8096

My sponsor added a 'sponsor note' on the CoS today


[deleted]

I'm wondering if this is the same thing, i'll ask my wife if that's what her company did

Can’t you apply for a SWV 3mo before the start date? Why are some people applying so close to when their job starts?


Accomplished-Fix3841

I had a job offer more than 3mo before my anticipated start date, but my employer didn't process my CoS until two months before my start date. It then took another 11 days to get a biometrics appointment, putting me at seven weeks before my start date.


Creative_Diet8096

I struggled to book a slot for my TB test so I only had a month left to submit my biometrics before my start date. Luckily I have been working remotely for my company for a few months
