Thank you for your reply. But i feel this we can vary the application purpose (it could be anything like Standard to priority servive). This is what i read here (page 16-19):
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... procedures
An applicant can vary the purpose of an application at any time before a decision on
the application is made. Any application submitted where a previous application has
not yet been decided is a variation of that previous application. An applicant can only
have one application outstanding at any one time. See Variation of an application for
leave: example scenarios.
If the applicant wishes to vary the purpose of their application, they must complete
the specified form and meet all the requirements of paragraph 34 of the Immigration
Rules for the variation to be valid.
When the original and variation applications are made online, the applicant will have
paid 2 fees. The higher fee will be retained and you must refund the lower fee.
A valid variation of purpose will look like a new application. You must check the
caseworking system to see if an earlier application exists which has not yet been
decided. This will tell you whether the new application is a variation of an existing
application or a new application. If it is a new application you must consider whether
it can be made.
If an applicant submits an application to vary, but a decision has already been made
on the original application, you must write to them and tell them that the application
will be treated as a new application.
Variation of an application for leave: example scenarios
An application can only have one application outstanding at a time, except for one
very specific exception as set out in example scenario 4 below, and where one
application is a human rights or protection claim. See: Varying an application for
leave to remain. When an applicant submits an application for leave followed by
another application for leave, the second application will either be a variation of the
first application, or a new application. The examples below explain how this works.
Example scenario 1
An applicant submits application A in time. They then submit application B before
application A has been decided, but after the applicant’s leave has expired when the
applicant transitioned to 3C leave.
Page 19 of 25 Published for Home Office staff on 30 November 2018
As the applicant transitioned to 3C leave and a decision has not yet been made on
application A, application B is automatically considered as a variation of application
A. The date of application is the date application A was submitted.
Example scenario 2
An applicant submits application A in time. They then submit application B before
application A has been decided, whilst they still have extant leave.
An applicant cannot be granted more than one type of leave at a time. Where 2
applications have been submitted whilst the applicant has extant leave, the second
application will be considered as a variation of the first application. The date of
application is the date application A was submitted.
Example scenario 3
An applicant submits application A out of time. They then submit application B before
application A has been decided.
An applicant cannot be granted more than one type of leave at a time. Where 2
applications have been submitted out of time, the second application will be
considered as a variation of the first application. The date of application is the date
application A was submitted.
Example scenario 4
An applicant submits application A in time. They transition to 3C leave and
application A is refused, and the decision is served with a right of appeal. The
applicant then submits application B, whilst still on 3C leave (for example, before the
time limit to appeal has ended)
for your more info please read
paragaph 34 here:

so moral is that we can vary the application (also from Standard to Priority) at anything unless the decision has not been made on the first application and also liable to get the whole refund.
This is what my question was when the discussion was started on Sat Jun 20, 2020 6:19 pm to the people.
anymore suggestions experts on this?
