Is ILR Set (O) - dependent eligible for Priority service

Hi All, Will be applying for my wife’s ILR through the Set (O), 5 years dependent partner route. I am unable to confirm whether this route is eligible for a priority or super priority service.

We got married in our home country in 2018 whilst I was on a Tier 2 visa and we used the marriage certificate from my home country to get her a dependent visa. Since then, I obtained my ILR in 2019 (5 years tier 2) and British citizenship in 2020 (afte...

Re: Supporting Document Return

4 weeks for me now and the best the customer services team can do is sending emails asking for an update, Surely the person who was meant to send them back knows if they did so or not and if they haven't they should be tasked with finding them. I called the helpline on Friday they put me through to...

Re: Supporting Document Return

As a related question, I note several of you have referred to requesting the return of supporting documents by secure delivery. Is there an alternative, i.e. allow return by standard delivery? If so, might that get the documents returned more quickly, because the PO wouldn't have to wait for the do...

Just a quick update, I did live chat with the passport service and the lady told me the documents have been picked up by TNT (they were the ones who brought me the passport as well) and will be delivered this Monday.

e should post this on passport processing timeline as well so we know how many of us are actually waiting for supporting documents?
I might be wrong on this but I don’t think that would be allowed as it’s a timeline only thread.

Re: Supporting Document Return

I really don't know what else I can do. Today marks 3 weeks since my British passport arrived and not a word from HMPO. Emailing my MP is pointless - he doesn't reply to things. I am seriously considering camping outside of their office and asking employees going in and out for help directly but I'...

No I haven’t unfortunately. I have contacted them on Twitter, they said they are looking into it. So I’ll wait a couple more days and contact them again. The trouble is the customer service people can't really do anything other than contact the relevant office on your behalf via email. Mine has bee...
