From my understanding with NRF, they review all applications after the deadline and then invite candidates as they go through the applications. Consequently, if you applied closer to the deadline, you'll probably be invited to complete the WG later than someone that applied earlier in the window.have NRF already sent out their next stage test?
For context, I applied on the deadline last cycle and I was invited to complete a WG on 5th August.
Hang in there!
