Given I applied for "Priority" and received a decision within 1 day, there isn't, in my experience, any point in applying for "Super Priority". My application was pretty straight forward though - same employer for 5 years.

Thanks for everyone's help over my immigration journey. I have found this whole forum to be full of useful information that has kept me well informed. Kudos to those who administer this forum.

Good luck to everyone else!

We received a quick turnaround (in light of the current posts I see) probably because we renewed our Skilled Worker/Tier 2 General visa status in June 2023. This might have helped our applications sail through without too much scrutiny.

Thanks to all moderators and folks who have posted their ILR-related knowledge and experience. Your inputs have been valuable for planning and submitting our applications and evidences!

The decision took longer than 5 days because UKVI requested evidence of co-habitation. This was not explicitly mentioned in the checklist of documents, so beware!

Huge thanks to all moderators and everyone who shared their experience!
