Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of Family Visa applications from outside the UK have not been processed within the 24-week standard processing time since January 1 2022; what is the current average wait time for these visa applications; and how many of these visa applications are currently outstanding past standard processing time deadline.

Numbers and proportions of Family Visa applications from outside the UK not processed within the 24-week standard processing times have not yet been published for this period. They will be published as part of transparency data in due course.

Average decision wait times or data on the number or proportion of family visa applications which have taken more than 24 weeks to process, do not form part of any current transparency data and are not published.

The transparency data does, however, include a range of processing data and the latest data can be found at: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
