The Super Priority Service is a premium service that allows applicants to receive a decision on their Indefinite Leave to Remain application within 24 hours.
To use the Super Priority Service, you will need to pay an additional fee, which is currently £1,000 per applicant. You can book an appointment for the Super Priority Service when you submit your ILR application online, and you will need to attend a designated service centre in person to submit your biometric information and supporting documents.
It’s important to note that not all ILR applications are eligible for the Super Priority Service. In some cases, such as where additional processing is required, the service may not be available. Additionally, the Super Priority Service does not guarantee a positive outcome for your application, and you will still need to meet all the eligibility requirements for ILR.
If you are considering using the Super Priority Service for your ILR application, it’s important to plan ahead and ensure that you have all the necessary supporting documents and evidence ready in advance of your appointment. You should also seek guidance from an immigration lawyer to ensure that you understand the requirements and have the best chance of success in your ILR application.
