Hi,
I have submitted my ILR 08 Mar 2024. When I was doing the application I couldn't see priority service option. Is there a way to pay extra and move my application to a priority service. I need to travel urgently within few weeks and the decision time on the application is showing 6 months.
Thanks

No there is not.
5 day priority is also not available for flr fp or family route visas to ilr application. Your previous posts indicate this is your visa route.

There is Super Priority you can use but will have to up at 00:00 midnight exact and look at the portal for it to appear. The charge is £1000 and you get the visa on within 1 working day.

The OP has already submitted and applied. Super Priority doesn't help them now after they have already paid for standard service!!

Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it. I have been doing some research and varying the application could be an option to move from standard to priority service. Since I have already given my biometric, I have to give it again if I submit the vary application. Any suggestions?

Applying again is not a variation of leave as you are not varying anything.
