Tier 2 priority applications

This page explains how you should request a Tier 2 priority application.

Priority applications

The Home Office has set up a Tier 2 priority application service. This service aims to decide applications within 10 working days from when you submit your application.

How to request to make a priority application

If you would like to make a priority application, you should complete the 'Tier 2 priority request' sheet on the right side of this page. Once completed, you should send this as an attachment to an e-mail to:
Prioritypostalrequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

As we are currently piloting the process up to 30 applications will be accepted each day, excluding weekends and bank holidays. Applications will be accepted from 08:30 on each eligible day.

You can find information about how to make an application on the Making a Tier 2 priority application page.
