[Ukmanvisa0825]

Hi my partner is currently awaiting his visa in brazil we paid for the priority service (15day) and after the 15 days we have herd nothing is this normal , should our solicitor contact them ?

It's not a 15 day service, it's a priority service that is treated ahead of other applications with no offer to guarantee a finite prazo. There may be problems with the application (something about your partner's circumstances that needs to be investigated) or, if it is genuinely straightforward, there may just be long delays due to technical or logistical issues. I would have imagined that someone paying for a priority service would be sent a courtesy email saying that there are delays and giving a reason, but that does not seem to be happening.

Our solicitor has said there should be no problem but what checks do they do and how ?

If you have used a legal advisor for this application, the that person is best suited to give you that information. He knows what was provided and by whom, so he will know what might be lacking or being investigated.
