Hello everyone, me and my family have been in a kind of long stressful and confusing predicament with the start up visa for about a while now and i felt the need to post about it on here if anyone here has any sort of information, discussions or just overall support or advice that could be of any sort of help to me right now. my family had applied for the start up visa pr in July 2021, and the official filing started in July 2022 which then proceeded with us being asked to do our first medical in December 2023 then a second one December 2024 and then our pre arrival came out in march 2025, and now in January 2026 it has been nothing but radio silence from them since then, which is definitely frustrating and confusing especially because firstly our application was supposed to take only about 3 and a half years and secondly our pre arrival has come which of course i know doesn't guarantee immediate approval but for over 10 months now we haven't heard anything at all, and it was expected/estimated for it to have come out around late last year and our most recent medical expired around like first week December 2025, with the other people's own on the team expiring around late November 2025. this entire process has really taken a major toll on me and everyone in my family's mental health and the silence even whilst basically expecting to be near or already approved by now has been really draining, I'm really hoping once again anyone here can give any support, advice or information i would really really appreciate anything right now, thank you so much and God bless.
