UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) has taken the decision without prior warning to suspend priority and super-priority visa processing services for all applications being made from outside the UK. Not only have the services been suspended, but the UKVI update says that “applications for study, work and family visas may take longer to process.”  This means that the most common visas sought by corporate employers, under the Skilled Worker and Intra-Company routes, could take more than three weeks (instead of five working days when the priority service is paid for or 24 hours in the case of super-priority). Standard visit visa applications are currently taking six weeks instead of the usual three.
