Tier 2 Priority Service
You can get a decision on your visa within 10 working days if you apply to extend or switch to a tier 2 visa using the Tier 2 Priority Service.
You can only use this service if you’re in the UK.
You can use the service for the following visas:

You first need to send a request to use this service.
Fill in the request for inclusion form and send it to the email address on the form.
Only the first 60 requests received each day after 8:30am (Monday to Friday) are accepted - you’ll get an email saying if you’ve been successful.
Apply
The email you get will have a link to the priority service. Apply online for yourself and any dependants within 24 hours.
Send your supporting documents by registered post or courier to the address that the service gives you. Send your dependants’ documents in the same envelope if you want them to be considered at the same time.
How long it takes
You’ll get a decision on your application within 10 working days of your application being received - you’ll be contacted if it will take longer.
