Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department's service standards are for processing administrative review applications across immigration routes as of 23 November 2021.

Following unprecedented levels of administrative review applications, we have recruited and are onboarding additional staff which will more than double the number of decision makers working on these applications.

Current timescales for processing administrative review applications are set out at Ask for a visa administrative review: If you're in the UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk), which states: “Currently, it can take 6 months or more to receive the result of the administrative review. If you haven’t had a decision on your application within 3 months, the Home Office will contact you with an update.”

Applicants’ rights are not affected by the delay in consideration.
