ilr - standard vs super priority

i am applying for ILR from tier 2 general dependent visa.
i am bit confused between standard and super priority.
super priority costs 800 pounds more but reduces waiting time by a whopping 6 months.
however i heard that in super priority case worker is in pressure to give decision in 24 hours and don't look too much into application.
whereas in standard case because they have 6 months, application is looked more rigorously.
is there any truth in that?
i would expect them to follow same process but after all its human beings who are checking applications so time pressure may play an important role.
not that i have anything to hide in my application but obviously would prefer 'light' search over 'deeper' one.

There is no pressure. That is the service standard for which HO charges £800.
Majority members have successfully opted for super priority.
Note 24hr service is still not a guarantee. Many members have waited longer that is a few days or even weeks before getting a decision.
If that happens you can push in a refund for £800 later on.

And standard service rarely takes 6 months these days. It is about 8 to 10 weeks.

You have to follow the guidance first. Checklist is not always accurate.

You will need to show cohabitation docs for 2 years. Marriage certificate. BRP copy (main applicant) - you will input main applicant’s details anyways so not needed really.

thanks so much.
for cohabitation, should we submit individual bank statements of both main and dependent? both have individual name and same address?
thanks.

Its best to submit cohabitation docs in joint names. If you dont have much in joint names, you can submit individual names having same address. Its usually 6 docs from 3 different sources evenly spread over the last 2 years.

Evidence can be originals or copies with new system. Online council tax statements should be okay.
