Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons there are differences in the length of time that it takes to process indefinite leave to remain applications and applications for other forms of leave to remain.

Applications for Indefinite Leave to Remain and other forms of leave to remain are subject to a maximum waiting time, the specific time for each route is published on gov.uk. The exact time taken to decide an individual case will depend on the specific circumstances of that case.
