The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average waiting time is for a paid for priority and super priority application to be turned around and decided.

Answered by Mike Tapp

Visa processing times for priority and super priority applications are published on the UKVI website at Visa decision waiting times: applications outside the UK - GOV.UK and Visa decision waiting times: applications inside the UK - GOV.UK. UKVI are currently processing applications on the overwhelming majority of its visa routes within their published customer service standards.
