How long have people had to wait to receive an email confirmation from hogan lovells after completing the second sjt?
Mine crashed halfway and I had to refresh it and I thought it was fine as at the end it said assessment completed and submitted, however, its been 5 hours and no confirmation email has arrived so I am a bit worried now.

Hello!

Whilst I can’t confirm whether they will sponsor visas for vacation schemes this cycle, it is always worth emailing the graduate recruitment team to double-check, especially if you have a strong application ready to submit. There’s still a while until the application deadline, so there should be plenty of time for them to reply and I’m sure they’d be more than happy to confirm for you :)

I’m sorry to hear that your last AC felt isolating - being the only one attending virtually must’ve been tough, but it’s super impressive that you made it that far!

Whatever you decide, wishing you the best of luck. You’ve got this!
Thank you! White & Case has confirmed they won't sponsor visa for WVS this year, still waiting for Hogan Lovells to respond.

Does anyone knows how bad is it if you get cut off at the last bit of a VI recording because of the time limit? 🫣 if it happens in one question only would it still be a rejection?
No. Heard Gemma say one time that an applicant froze for the first question and did excellently in the other questions so she put him through to the next round
