What is the change? The U.K. has made its priority service available for Tier 2 (General)-based applicants applying for permanent residence (“indefinite leave to remain”).
What does the change mean? For an additional fee of 500 pounds, applicants who are already in the U.K. applying for permanent residence based on the Tier 2 (General) route may request the priority service which provides for a decision within five business days. The Priority service was not previously available to Tier 2 (General)-based applicants applying for permanent residence.
