Your application seems complex due to the elements underlined above. They are double checking the veracity of the things you stated in your application (i.e., sponsor being interviewed) before they can give a final decision. It doesn't mean you would be necessarily rejected for being an overstayer, but your application will be scrutinised even further than others, to corroborate this time you're doing everything according to the law.

I will quote myself, because this has been asked so many times:
"I was told by my solicitor that a priority service means that your application will be put at the front of the queue. That’s it. It may be processed quickly, but unfortunately paying for priority does not guarantee 100% you will get a fast response, regardless of your situation. Some members have been claiming and asking if personal circumstances (e.g., spouse giving birth while the partner is abroad, children starting school in September) would give a boost to their application to get the decision quicker. But the truth is NOT. Home Office doesn’t care about these circumstances. Sorry.
Regardless of your personal circumstances, the estimated time to process a priority application is 6-8 weeks, starting from the moment biometrics have been submitted. But this is not a compulsory timeline, and if your application is complex, HO will not respect those 6-8 weeks. Due to your adverse immigration history (entered illegally + overstayer + previously refused visa), it will take longer to assess your application.

Hello,
Can I ask why your sponsor required an interview and what did they ask. I didn't think they did this anymore. My husband as his biometrics in tirana on monday.

Have you heard a decision yet?

Yes I am already in uk
I got a response after 13 weeks and it was approved
They called sponsor about employment and about our relationship too
Like where did you meet
What day
Date you got married
Easy question
Hope you get approved soon

Thank you! congratulations. Thats amazing. I had it in my mind that it will be refused due to him being illegal for 3 years (no criminal record / home office not aware of him). This has made me feel much better.
Can I ask. Did you have a wedding or just a ceremony. We just had a ceremony but i am worried that they may think its not genuine because of this (it defiantly is!).

Thank you hope your get approved too .
I don’t think they can refuse because of being illegal. I had a wedding in uk but I don’t think that matters either .
If you send enough prove of relationship should be ok
I send quite a few statements for my wifes family
Probably that help me a lot
