    You don't know if they would apply anyway, I'm sure any checks they do on a normal visit visa would be more detailed than a priority one due to time restrictions.

    I posted before about Tier 1 visa abuse, highly skilled immigrants working in takeaways, students who came here to work and not study, and now - for a fee of £600 - someone who intends to overstay could get fast tracked here within days

    Why do you think so many visit visa's are refused ? HO does not believe they will go back

    Did you actually read the article that YOU posted a link to Joe

    It would appear not

    To save you going back, this is what it said:-


    "All applicants must meet the strict requirements of our immigration rules, and applying for a visa to enter the UK through the 24-hour service does not, in any way, guarantee a visa application will be successful."

    What are the strict requirements ? 1,000s of HIGHLY SKILLED migrants manage to get past the strict requirements to come here and work in low skilled jobs here

    UK needs to learn a lesson from Canada

    Canada suspends Accelerated Visa Program
    Canada has suspended the Accelerated Visa Program, which reduced processing time for visas to two weeks. The processing time for visas is likely to go up to three-five months now, and the there is a proposal to increase visa fees as well.

    I don't know Joe, but I'm sure you'll tell me or go off on another tangent
