Hi all,

I am about to book an appointment for my ILR application. I heard from my friend she got the result 2 weeks after submitting her documents with premium lounges services. I wonder if using premium lounge or enhanced service points are going to take shorter period of time to get an ILR decision comparing to the free slots in Croydon?

Also are the document checking and document uploading services are useful?

Appreciate if you could share advice or your experience.

Thanks a lot!

Premium lounge only has to do with how fast and time time you spend at the visa application centre. The payment for this goes to the VAC not HO or UKVI so does not have effect on how fast your application is processed and decision given by HO.
The service by HO/UKVI for that is the priority and super priority and currently not available.
Your friend should enlighten more.

Do you have any experience on if using the document checking service is useful? Yes, back then when used, for an applicant who is lettered and knew what is expected, it was a waste of scarce resources.
