Get a faster decision on your application
If you’re applying using your Tier 1 (Investor visa), you can pay an extra £500 to use the priority service to get a decision within 5 working days.
If you’re applying using your Tier 1 (Investor) or Global Talent visa, you can pay an extra £1,000 to use the super priority service to get a decision:
by the end of the next working day after providing your fingerprints and photo (known as ‘biometric information’) if your appointment is on a weekday
2 working days after providing your biometric information if your appointment is at the weekend
Working days are Monday to Friday, not including bank holidays.
The priority and super priority services are not available if you’re applying with a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa.

Dear Mods and Experts,
Can I travel after submtting ILR application ( before giving biometrics )
Also for proof of cohabitation does the bill have to be in joint name of me and my spouse or we can just provide her bank and credit card statements with uitliy and council tax bills
Proof of Cohabitation documents needed just for two years prior application right ?
Thanking you

The rules are clear that if you travel after applying, the application will be cancelled.
You don't need joint names for cohabitation proof.
Yes, two years prior to application

Dear Mods and Experts,
Is SELT or any English test required to vary application from T1E to SWV within UK ?

This is not the place to seek questions on a skilled worker application! This post should only be used for questions on ILR via Tier 1E route.
SW route does NOT have any English language requirement at all

As you have proved your English language proficiency before, should be alright.
