Written Question

Immigration: Applications

Monday 20th October 2025

Asked by: Maureen Burke (Labour - Glasgow North East)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average time is to process an application for (a) Leave to Remain and (b) Indefinite Leave to Remain; and what steps her Department is taking to reduce the time to process such applications.

Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

UKVI are currently processing applications on all of its routes where a customer service standard is operated within their published customer service standards. As previously announced by the Home Secretary, Family Reunion applications are currently paused. Visa processing times are published on the UKVI website at Visa processing times: applications outside the UK - GOV.UK and Visa processing times: applications inside the UK - GOV.UK.

It may take longer to process an application if:

the information in the application is not accurate or needs more consideration
further evidence needs to be provided, for example evidence of funds
supporting documents need to be verified
an interview is required

we need more information on personal circumstances (for example if there is a criminal conviction)
