UK Innovator Founder Forum

Posted anonymously by flr_clock

Hi friends, I want to apply for UK Innovator Founder Visa and for this I have applied to UKES for my business plan endorsement on March 3rd. Does anyone have an idea how long this endorsement process takes?

I am inside UK and I am on an FLR HRO application so I don’t have much time — at any time my application may be refused by the Home Office because I don’t have proper evidence to prove my health issue.

Can anyone suggest what options I have to stay legally in UK, and any ways to speed up the endorsement process? I tried to contact UKES but no phone number was available, and I emailed them regarding the timeline and they mentioned it will take 4 to 8 weeks which they cannot finish earlier than that.
