The new employer wants to see either outcome of my naturalisation application or permanent residency renewed.
My current residency card is expiring in few weeks.
has anyone had success with HO in making his application prioritised?

I have called many times and HO called me back saying that my app is engoing.
Now I have a job offer but the new employer is asking for a right to work proof as my residency is expiring in the next 3weeks.
Is there a way that HO prioritises my application?
Maybe your case is different, however if you have a permananet resident status (ILR), how come you residency is expiring? In any case, the outcome of your naturalisation application doesnt impact your indefinite status so any resonable employer should be ok if you explain.
Also, just from previous experience, the head of my department (major organisation) wrote to the Home Office to request my ILR application to be expedited due to international work committments however HO declined. They didnt consider it to be "exceptional or compansionate" reason. Although no harm in trying.
