As I understood, SET O after 6 years of Discretionary Leave is not eligible to upgrade to Premium according to the link below. I think following statement from Home Office Page looks wrong...
https://www.gov.uk/faster-reply-visa-application
SET (O) form
There are specific rules about getting a faster reply if you applied using the SET (O) form.
You can get a faster reply if you used the SET (O) form and both of the following are true:
- your case isn’t covered by immigration rules
- you applied to settle in the UK after completing 6 years discretionary leave granted under the transitional arrangement
I think it should be... You can
not get a faster reply if you used the SET (O) form and both of the following are true:
Otherwise, it might mean SET O after 5 years of Tier 2 is not eligible to upgrade if the quote from Home Office page is true which is not a case. In that case, DLR after 6 years would mean not eligible - I guess because it is more complex than regular Tier 2 application.
