Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average time it takes her Department to process applications submitted to (a) the Homes for Ukraine Scheme and (b) the Ukrainian Family Scheme.

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:
