Hi everyone,
I am applying for ILR via the Set(O) route using Priority Service. I've hit a delay after a Request for Further Information and would appreciate some advice on escalation and timelines.
Timeline:
Priority Application submitted: 24 Feb 2026
Biometrics: 25 Feb 2026
Email Received: 3 March 2026 (Request for copies of passports with all pages and a full list of absences)
Responded: 3 March 2026 (Same day)
Case Details:
Absence Lists: When I originally uploaded files, I provided two lists: one for the 30 entries included in the online system and another for extra entries. In my response on 3 March, I combined these into a single, comprehensive list covering about 60 entries.
I provided a full index linking every trip to specific passport page numbers where stamps are available. For trips with no stamps, I had already attached flight e-tickets in my initial document upload. I did not resend the e-tickets on 3 March as they were not specifically re-requested.
My Questions: For those with a high volume of absences, how long did it take for a decision after you responded to an email asking for further information on a Priority application? What else can I do to escalate the case? I have travel plans in late March.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
