UK Innovator Founder Forum

Posted anonymously by three_month_letter

Hi everyone, I’m preparing to apply for the UK Innovator Founder Visa and had a couple of questions I’m hoping someone here can clarify.

My endorsement letter is valid for three months. If I submit my visa application while the endorsement letter is still valid, but it expires while the Home Office is processing the application, would I be required to obtain a new endorsement letter? Or is it sufficient that the letter was valid on the date of application?

Also, the government website mentions an average processing time of around 8 weeks. Are there any priority or super-priority (fast track) options available for this visa category, either inside or outside the UK?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has applied recently or has direct experience with this. Thanks in advance!
