Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how long on average her Department takes to process an EU Settlement Scheme application.

Our aim is to process all applications to the EU Settlement Scheme as expeditiously as possible. Complete applications are usually processed in around five working days.

More information about processing times for applications under the scheme is available here:
