Before our immigration team submit your visa application, you can choose between two processing routes:

⏳ Standard Visa Processing

  • Standard Skilled Worker visa applications usually take 6 to 8 weeks to be granted.

  • Sometimes, processing may take longer depending on the Home Office workload.

  • This is the default processing route.

⚡ Priority Visa Processing

  • Typically processed within 5 working days of the biometric appointment/visa submission date.

  • You will need to pay an additional fee for this - £738.80. This will need to be paid for before the visa application is submitted.

  • You cannot request for the priority route after your visa application has been submitted.

📢 How will I know when the visa is granted?

We’ll notify you as soon as your visa is approved.
