Hi,

I have submitted my Set(O) ILR biometrics on the 29/7/2022 under the priority service and it has been 5 weeks without any response/additional document requests/notifications of delay. Complete radio silence from UKVI since submission. I understand from various posts that escalating is not helpful and I should just wait.

Is it possible for me to resubmit a new Set(O) application under the super priority service to override my previous application? And would the application fee for my old application be refunded.

I would like to know if this is technically a feasible option.

Thanks,

You cannot have two applications. Also, what would that achieve ? Do you think UKVI just randomly has kept your application and making a new one will magically produce a faster response ? The immigration system is NOT a lottery game. Sometimes checks and verifications could take several weeks to complete. Wait to hear back

See: I applied for a priority visa service and I am still waiting for a response. What is happening  ?

There is the following section in the beginning of the application form which suggests that this is possible, unless I've misunderstood?

Do you currently have an application with the Home Office for leave to remain for which you have not yet received a decision?
(Required)
If you have submitted any other applications to the Home Office which have not yet been decided then submitting this application varies those previous applications. This means that only this application, which you are now completing, will now be considered.

Because of the complete silence from UKVI, I'm starting to be worried if they have even received my application as plenty of people who have applied after me are receiving decisions.

You need to withdraw the current one and apply for a new one which can render you an overstayer (if you do not have valid leave) Applying for the same ILR application is not a variation of leave. You also will not get a faster response. The same process applies

Your application is submitted to UKVI when you attend your biometrics. Each application is unique. Because others have got a response does not tell you anything about your application. You must wait to hear back

Hi,

I am in the same boat, I have applied on priority in August and a complete silence from home office. I have escalated and contacted MP but no results. Is there anyone who can help ?

Thanks
