Priority Settlement visa application 2018

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Home Office should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Home Office,

The Priority Settlement Visa Service standards is 30 working days, therefore, I would be grateful if you could provide the following statistics for visa applications made from outside the UK :

1. The number of priority settlement visa applications that were received by UKVI Sheffield in the last 12 months (or the most recent 12 month period for which records exist/ could be disclosed)?
2. The average processing time of these priority applications
3. How many of the priority settlement visa applications referred to in point 1 were processed within 30 working days, as advertised.
4. Please provide any relevant internal communications related to expected processing times for priority settlement visa applications.

Yours faithfully,
Dr Zaghloul
