Priority service still suspended?

[mattaus]

Hi all

I've recently submitted my application for ILR Set (O) and was provided with three different processing time options: Super priority, priority and standard. I chose priority and paid GBP 2,908.20, which means I will get a decision on my ILR application within five working days.

I wanted to check whether anyone else has also been given this option as everywhere I've read is saying that priority is still suspended? Does this mean that they give everyone the three priority options when the submit their application and then you get a call from the Home Office after I've submitted my biometrics telling me that there will be a delay and the priority service is still suspended?

Many thanks for any advice you have!

Not sure where you are reading. It was reopened only a couple of weeks ago for certain categories.

Thanks very much!

It would be worth someone telling UKVCA as their representative told me on the phone this morning that ILR applications under Set (O) are still taking up to six months for a decision and that priority services still aren't available. I do understand UKVCA aren't the ones considering the applications, but for all visa applicants they are, unfortunately, the public face of the system.

Priority processing is offered by Home Office and not UKVCAS. UKVCAS are partners who offer support only for biometrics submission.
UKVCAS staff may therefore have no idea about visa processing timelines
