I agree with lolo that this is not an immigration related issue. We cannot advise you how to fund your ILR application. It is your responsibility to find ways to fund your immigration applications. You are also not entitled to be given an ILR and your employer is not obliged to foot the bill for it either

This has nothing to do with the immigration rules or the immigration system :!:

Hi beautiful people,

I just attended the TLScontact biometrics appointment early this morning for my ILR application. I chose the 5-day priority service.

I was wondering if UKVI work on Sat/Sun to process such application or they only work Mon-Fri?

A few months when I applied for a skills worker visa (5-day priority service too) I did the biometrics appointment at 8am Fri and surprisingly got the result at 9-ish pm the SAME day.

And for people that did an ILR application and used priority service recently, how long did it take to get the result?

Thanks in advance so much for your insights and experience.

All service timeframes are based on working days only, so you should not count weekends or public holidays. There are timeline topics pinned to the top of the forum if you need to get some ideas. However, note that every application is unique and experience of others may not be similar to yours

I got a decision once on Sat by using 5-day priority

I used 5-day priority service three times and I got all decisions less than 5 days

But it depends on different cases
