Please explain to me why on planet Jamie you think that a foreigner gets precedence over a British tax payer
A British tax payer doesn't need a visa to stay in Britain

A British tax payer doesn't need a visa to stay in Britain
A British tax payer sponsors the settlement application, its a fact settlement visas are not a priority from the time scales, same with the time scale for visit visasHow

Priority must be given to applications for EEA family permits. Wherever possible a decision should be made at the time it is lodged or after an interview is conducted.
However, the Regulations do not say that EEA family permits must be issued on the day that the application is made. The Directive does allow Member States to take reasonable measures to ensure that freedom of movement is not obtained by deception. Where you suspect a marriage of convenience or even ‘sham’ employment for the purpose of freedom of movement, further enquiries should be made and credibility may be tested. As long as delays are justifiable, applications can be tested until the ECO is fully satisfied.
There is no reason a settlement visa should take 3 months or more, well there is, Cameron and May want to put a limit on immigrants coming to the UK. an election pledge they made and couldn't keep
The scheme is for a TOURIST visa though, not a settlement visa
From the article:-
Ahead of his visit to Australia for the G20 summit, Mr Cameron announced that the scheme will be extended from India and China to seven other countries including South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and the Philippines.
The only way it's affecting the British tax payer is by putting another £600 per application into the economy

Firstly, show me a profit margin link to verify your statement
Secondly, and more to the point, the scheme has as much to do with a settlement visa as it has to do with the cost of a loaf of bread. Read it again Joe after all you started the topic, it's a scheme to fast track TOURIST visas. Nothing to with any other sort of visa, the cost of a loaf of bread or anything else

settlement fee £885 , processing fee £378 profit £507
visit visa short fee £83 , processing fee £115
of course it has if the visa is processed at the same place as this fast track visa or any other visa. soon as the caseworker gets one of these 'priority' visas, they will have to put a side the visa app they are processing to do a 24hr one, andme , i don't know why people don't think that a British Citizen who has married a Filipino should not be a priority
as for checks, one of the mains points of a settlement visa is that you intend to make the UK your home, so the HO doesn't need to waste time and money on evaluating the risks they will overstay compared to business, student and visit visa's where there is a greater risk that they will overstay or work when they are not suppose to, these checks you would have thought take time and money to process.
next if the spouse visa takes so long to process because of 'local checks' surely these and even more checks should be done on people visiting this country and less on those married to British citizens.
did you see the word 'priority' about family permits
you've seen the profits now and you've seen the time scales, dont tell me you dont think the Brit who is sponsoring a settlement visa has not come off worse
IF Joe IF
How many times, it's about charging £600 to fast track a TOURIST visa, how the
