Priority Visa Service or Settlement Priority on VFSGlobal?
« on: December 21, 2017, 11:07:54 PM »
I am on the VFSGlobal site trying to purchase priority service and the shipping label, and there isn't an option for "Settlement Priority Service" as I've seen it referred to here. The option is for "Priority Visa Service" for $771 and includes this information:

"The Home Office will expedite the processing of your visa application and return of your documents. Customers may request this service if they are applying for a visitor visa (excluding student visas) and have travelled without difficulty in the last five years to one of the following countries: UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or a Schengen country."

Is this the correct service? I'm just questioning it since it mentions it is for a visitor visa. I selected Settlement on the menu.

You may be on the wrong page. Here is the correct info. It is $771 for the settlement priority service.

Settlement Priority Visa

Price: USD 771.00 for each settlement priority visa application. This fee is in addition to the visa application fee. This service allows settlement visa applicants to pay to have their visa application placed at the front of the queue once received by the UK Visas and Immigration Decision Making Centre (DMC) in Sheffield, to commence processing ahead of other visa applications. Your dependents can also apply for this service at the same time as you but they will also have to pay an additional Settlement Priority service fee.
Important note: All settlement applications, with the exception of 'Settlement: Returning Residents', will be assessed by the UK Visas and Immigration Decision Making Centre in Sheffield, UK.

If you have already selected United States, SETTLEMENT and Sheffield in the payment section of the website then you will be purchasing the correct service.

Because you are already in the Settlement Visa section, they don’t have to call it ‘settlement’ priority... it’s just ‘Priority Service’ for a settlement visa.

If however, you had selected United States, (another visa type), and New York, you would be shown the $258 Priority Service for non-settlement applications.
