PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Immigration (18 May 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many further leave to remain (a) applications and (b) appeals have been awaiting a final decision for longer than six months.

Asked by:
Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

The Home Office does not publish data on the number of applications which have been outstanding for longer than six months awaiting a final decision, nor does it hold data on those who do not have recourse to public funds awaiting a decision. To capture this data would exceed the cost threshold.

The Home Office does publish data of its performance against its service level agreement, which can be found on the GOV.UK webpage: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The appeals information requested is not readily available or published. Her Majesty’s Court and Tribunal Service manage the appeals system and publish high level timeliness information.
