Here is link for information regarding what an employer checks to determine 'right to work'. https://www.gov.uk/check-job-applicant-right-to-work During the period between submitting a visa renewal and eventually receiving a new BRP Card, you need to be issued a Certificate of Application from the home office. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/right-to-work-checks-employers-guide https://assets.publishing.service.g...de_to_right_to_work_checks_-_January_2019.pdf Still available online, but the below guidance publication is claimed to have been withdrawn on 31st July 2019 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/acceptable-right-to-work-documents-an-employers-guide NOTE: Selecting a Priority Service only possibly speeds up the process, the period between application and receiving new BRP should still require 'Certificate of Application'. So the value of a 'priority service' is only personal preference, NOT a necessity to remain in employment.
