Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for same day premium visa service have taken longer than six months to process.

The Home Office does not routinely publish the number of premium service applications that take longer than six months to process. The premium service published service standard is to complete 98.5% of straightforward cases on the same day. UKVI transparency data provides details of how the Premium Service Centres perform against that service standard.
