Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to decrease the waiting time to process family reunion applications for individuals from Sudan.

We are committed to improving and speeding up processing times for family reunion applications.

We prioritise all applications where the application has been made by an unaccompanied child, under the age of 18. We will also prioritise applications where there is an evidenced urgent or compelling reason.
