This has nothing to do with your route to ILR
All the ILR applicants must prove their knowledge of life in the UK and their English language proficiency at level B1 (or higher)
LIUK test:

B1 SELT:

Note that only the skilled worker main applicants do not need to prove their level of English. That is the only exception

Was your first visa applied for and granted in the UK or abroad?
5 day priority service is not available for your visa route.

I asked if you applied for and were granted a visa within the uk or if you applied abroad!!! I did not ask what type of visa you had.
