Variation of Pending Application with a New Application Under Priority or Super Priority Service
In some cases, you may be able to vary your pending in-country UK visa and immigration application with a new application under the Priority Service or Super Priority Service to get a faster decision. You will normally receive a decision on your new UK visa and immigration application within 24 hours if submitted using Super Priority Service, or within 5 working days if submitted using Priority Service. Having successfully varied your initial application with a new application and after getting a faster decision on your new UK visa and immigration application, our immigration solicitors will help you get a full refund of the initial UK visa and immigration application from the Home Office UKVI.
Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) Against Unreasonable Delay On Part Of The Home Office UKVI
Where the option of varying the initial application with a new application through Priority Service or Super Priority Service is not available or feasible, the delay on the part of the Home Office UKVI in processing the pending application can be challenged by way of a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) against the Home Office UKVI. As a result of a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter sent to challenge the delay, the Home Office UKVI will respond to the Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) within 14 days, either justifying the delay or agreeing to expedite a decision on the application. It is common for the Home Office UKVI to expedite a decision on the application after a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter is sent, particularly where the delay seriously prejudices the applicant.
