ILR application queries

*Not so long post*
Good morning everyone in the house,I hope we are keeping safe.
Please I need advice regarding my ILR(LR)application that I already submitted.
I got a a new job 8weeks ago;was meant to resume 12th of April but unfortunately my start date has been moved by 2weeks because apparently my current leave expires 1st week in May.Although my employer requested I show them proof of my submitted application to enable them carry out RTW checks,which I have given them.
I'm not quite sure if they are satisfied with this now as they were in touch yesterday still asking me questions around my application and when I think I would get a decision-I told them the current timeframe is 6months.
Due to the current concerns around my leave/application I am worried as I really dont want to lose this new job.
Please can the gurus advice if it's possible to cancel my application and resubmit a new one using the Super priority service so as to get a faster decision (although i read on the group of someone who cancelled and still didn't find the option of super priority and also priority service takes upto 6months in some circumstances too)
PS:I have uploaded all my documents on UKVCAS myself and my biometrics appointment is booked for end of April.
Pls I would appreciate of someone could advice as I am confused on what to do.Thanks

You can withdraw and apply using SP if you want. Some members have reported not viewing the SP option or it appears on certain times. You will have to keep checking if that is the case. No one can answer that for certain. Maybe run a dummy application and check first.
As long you have not submitted biometrics (end Apr as you said) and your visa is valid (till May as you said), you should not have any issues.

I just had the UKVCAS appointment yesterday (ILR - SET M 5 year partner route) .I wanted to make my application through the priority/super-priority route but all I could see was a standard option. I have a vague memory reading in one of the forums that the options were suspended for ILR, so I am unsure if this might be the reason. Why don’t you contact UKVI directly to enquire as your situation sounds quite desperate?
Wishing you the very best with all your plans.
Thanks

Super priority/priority is open for SET(M) since 1-2 weeks now. Some members have reported viewing the option only certain times or waiting 1-2 days.

Thanks very much for your prompt response,I actually tried the dummy application and couldn't find the super priority option, I've decided to stick with my initial application and hope I get a decision earlier
