ILR simple question

[Amrqatary]

Currently, priority and super priority services are withheld and you can only apply normal service (26 weeks)
You still cannot book an appointment for biometrics.
The question is.
1) if I apply normal (26 week) will I submit my passport and BRP or will I keep them, and if I keep them, will I be allowed to travel outside UK during those (26 weeks)
2) does anyone know if and when the priority service will be resumed, ( if a matter of days, teen I can wait)
Thanks.

You cannot travel while you have a pending application as it will be considered withdrawn. We cannot tell you when priority service will resume
