Dear All,
I'm due to submit my ILR application on March 25th, and was planning to pay for super priority service. Do you have any information about Home office and UKVCAS still accepting and processing applications?

Information in the link below with a list of Sopra Steria centres which are now closed due to COVID-19

Apart the centres in libraries that have closed list, I can confirm other centres are open and processing normally and you must not attend the appointment if you should be self-isolating.
I had mine today and asked at the end whether they thought they would be shutting down soon. My agent said they had no word either way and did not know.
I would strongly recommend you submit and do it as soon as you can to get your application in the system. Except unless you need to travel out of the UK or have any other reason not to risk delays in processing time.
Anything could change at any time and any day. Sopra Steria bosses will surely be making daily decisions on the safety of staff and customers and also UKVI could have delays if they need to for their staff too.

Also looking to submit it this week on super priority service, my visa expires on 15/04.
I am also heavily pregnant due to give birth end of next month, we are also planning to move as well mid May. In any case the application does go as planned will I be able to get my BRP by mid May? If not can you change the delivery address of the card to be sent to another address because I would have moved.
