Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average duration of processing leave to remain (family and private life category) applications has been in each of the last five years.

Information on processing times for In-Country leave to remain applications is available in our published transparency data at the link below. See tab InC_05.

Family and private life applications are included in the Non-Straightforward Workable category but this also includes outside of the rules applications.
