the simple answer is no however, it's not gonna hurt if you try to ask them.
I have heard of employers providing a "letter of urgency" for visa applications, but I am not sure how much it really helps.
It's hit and miss with employer's sending letters requesting priority at the moment - I have seen some instances of success recently, but just as many cases of INZ refusing. It's definitely worth a try though! Best person to email is the Immigration Manager of the team that the work visa application is sitting with - you can find out which team the application is sitting with by calling the contact centre and then I can give you details of who the Manager is accordingly.
Thank you!!
