Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications under the (a) Homes for Ukraine scheme and (b) Ukrainian Family Scheme were awaiting a decision as of 13 April 2023.

UKVI aims to assess Ukraine Schemes visa applications as quickly as possible. Straightforward applications are processed within days. Visas are only issued after all necessary checks have been completed which may take longer in some cases.

The latest published figures, including the number of outstanding applications for each route, can be found here:
