I made an application for ILR Set (o) on 20th May with Priority service. I was set to receive the decision within a week as it says for the priority service timeline. Today morning (23rd May) I have received this email from home office.
Thank you for your application for permission to stay in the UK.
Although we would normally decide your application from the date of biometrics, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case.
I am sorry for the delay in dealing with your application and for the inconvenience this is causing. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible.
What will happen now? Simple, now you have to wait. You might not get your response in a week anymore. In a nutshell, it would come when it comes. You're still in front of the queue, not just going to happen soon.
If they informed you within the priority timeframe that they cannot make a priority decision then you get no refund. If they did not inform you, then you will get a refund
How long should I wait for? Is there a time frame or its going to take as long as it might

Dear Mr
Thank you for contacting UKVI Contact Centre.
We aim to complete all visa applications within 5 working days. However, where we are not able to do this we will complete the application as quickly as possible and where delays in making the decision are not the fault of the customer, the priority service fee will be refunded. The appropriate team has been notified regarding your request.
Delays everywhere with no clarity.
Avoid travelling.
Not sure anyone here can help you. As you been previously advised multiple times, you have to wait. You've tried priority and it didn't work. Now you're probably on the 6 months track and it could be longer.
Do you know if your application was straightforward and did you receive any reply from Home Office?
I would say it’s straightforward. I applied through a solicitor and had everything in order. I met all the requirements. Have not heard anything from the Home Office. My solicitor tried to follow up with HO and they replied saying there are delays due to the Ukraine crisis.
