Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking in the case of the Palestinian academic Bassem Abudagga, currently studying for his PhD at York St John University, to expedite the visa application process so that his wife and two young children can come from Gaza to the UK.

We strive to conclude cases within the published guidance and information on study processing times and service standards can be found here:

Unfortunately, UKVI cannot comment on individual cases or provide information regarding UK visa applications via this channel.
