Hi everyone,

I applied for the UK Global Talent Visa (Exceptional Promise – Route 4, Peer Review via Royal Academy of Engineering) and wanted to check if anyone else is currently experiencing delays.

Here’s my timeline:

• Application submitted: 19 January 2026

• Referred to RAE: 31 January 2026

• Today: 28 April 2026 (Just over 12 weeks), still waiting for the decision

Has anyone who shares a similar timeline already got the decision?

I would appreciate it if you could share your experience or feedback.

Many thanks!
