Other ways to speed up the process
Once you submit your application, an immigration lawyer cannot control how long it will take for the Home Office to process it, they can only help to avoid delays by maintaining contact with the Home Office and helping you to gather any extra information that they may require.
However, if you need a decision on your visa or settlement application urgently, there are still ways that you can speed up the process. The Home Office offers a priority service that will see you receiving your decision faster than usual, there are two different types of priority services.
The regular priority service costs £500 on top of the original visa application fee. With this service, you will receive a decision within 5 working days of your appointment with UKVCAS. The super-priority service costs £800 and you will receive a decision within the next working day if your appointment with UKVCAS is on a weekday, or within 2 working days if your appointment is on a weekend or bank holiday.
It’s worth noting that not all immigration applications are eligible for the priority service, you can find out more about which types of applications are eligible on the UK government website.
