Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department holds data on the number of outstanding family reunion cases that have documents held in the Khartoum Visa Application Centre as at 21 June 2023.

We do not hold centralised data on this. However, where our records confirm that a customer’s passport is being held in the Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Khartoum and a decision has been made on their application, we have contacted all those customers, and offered them a letter confirming that their passport is securely stored and attaching a digital copy of their passport.
