Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what is the earliest date on which an application for a Biometric Residence Permit which has not yet been approved was made.
Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) are issued to customers as part of the visa application process. The information on how many residence permits currently being processed is not available in the format requested and could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
The waiting times for BRP’s are dictated by the BRP production and delivery processes. We aim to deliver a BRP within 7 working days of the immigration decision being made.
