Priority & Super Priority Service
The majority of family visa applications from outside the UK can be submitted using Priority Service, which will result in decisions being made on settlement family applications within 6 to 8 weeks instead of the standard 12 week waiting period and decisions being made on non-settlement family applications within 5 working days instead of the standard 4 to 8 week waiting period.
Instead of using standard service, which can frequently take between 3 and 6 months to receive a decision on the family visa application, almost all applications made from within the UK can be submitted to the Home Office UKVI using either priority service (to get decision within 5 working days) or super priority service (to get decision within 24 hours).
We are registered with the Home Office, UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI), and its business partners UKVCAS Sopra Steria to offer priority and super priority service for family visa applications, meaning that the Home Office UKVI may make a decision on your application more quickly than the typical waiting times. We are specialist family visa solicitors with multiple offices in London.
Our family visa attorneys can help you create a family visa application that you can send to the Home Office, UKVI, or both using priority or super priority services, and you can receive a quick response to your application. You won’t have to wait months – or even years – for the outcome of your family application if you do this.
