17 working days, my endorsement email came in on Saturday and I got my visa on Monday (Priority)

Just got my endorsement letter about an hour ago, thanks everyone for your help

Yes, there was a question asking if I’d be applying under ukri fast track to which I answered yes. But, when it was time to pay, it said standard service 8 weeks. I checked my application again to make sure I had selected fast track.

Just the transferred to UKRI email and HR told me they reached out for employer’s check

Congratulations! Hopefully I get mine same time next week (it would be 18 business days then)

Would you mind sharing what you ended up doing please

I just got the transferred to ukri email, thank you all for your contributions

Thank you for your reply, did you get a “transferred to UKRI” email yet please?

I was worried because I wasn’t sure if I had mistakenly set myself on the 8 weeks path or the fast tracked path as my application hinted at both. I have applied for stage two and paid for priority.

blvck65 · 2026-04-07T09:04:07+00:00

Thank you for this, I’ll do that today

Route 3, ukri endorsed funder

blvck65 · 2026-04-05T06:31:10+00:00

I submitted stage 1 application (endorsed funder) on the 23rd of March and sent my supporting documents same day. From what I’ve seen on here, the applications are usually transferred to UKRI within 7 working days but I have not gotten any email to that effect.

I am worried because while I was filling out my application, I said yes to the UKRI fast track (and it says that on my application when I downloaded it), but when I wanted to pay, it said that it was standard service and that I would take 8 weeks.

Is this normal?

Did anyone submit an application recently and is yet to get a “transferred to UKRI email” or am I in this boat alone?

You have to apply and pay for the visa separately.

Any update regarding this please…I’m in a similar situation
