[Visa Related] Has the Home Office brought back priority/super-priority processing for a change of employer application on a Skilled Worker Visa? (If applying within the UK) Would love to get a decision in one week rather than 8, so I can leave the country during Christmas 😢

Priority is back and usually gets a decision in a day. However, if you’re not able to do the online biometrics thing (where you validate your BRP online through NFC; Doesn’t always work), you will need to go in-person for biometrics. Getting a date for the biometrics is the difficult part (likely 3-4 weeks away) and this can’t be expedited.

The BRP chip reading issue seems to be an iPhone issue - not sure why. Tried for a couple of days on iPhones before getting it done first time through an Android phone.

Yes, got priority in September, decision made in 1 day + 11 days for new bro.

Yes! I got my current one (September 2021) on super-priority and just submitted a change of employer one (November 2022) on priority. They’re definitely back but I’ve heard there might be a bit delay even if you pay extra for the priority service.

I got mine through priority in October.

Took 3 weeks instead of the stated 5 days

Yes it has

Priority visas are back but they dont adhere to promised timelines. My change of employer skilled worker visa was applied on 13 sep (no biometric, id check via app) and I received the decision on 24 oct so you can imagine. This was after multiple escalations. The visa process is as screwed as it can be at this time.

Mine took 2 days to get approved with the priority service. I did the ID check via app, no in person appointments.

Got mine through priority in September but it took 4 weeks instead of 1.

This is one of my favorite couples from the show. While Steven was quite immature during the show, it seemed like he was just young and wanted to be a good dad. They've been together as a family for a while now, he has taken up yoga to manage his temper issues, she has a career on the side as a photographer and they seem happy. I hope their social media is a true representation of their lives and I hope they are truly happy together with their little son 😊
