Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the backlog is for EU Settlement Scheme applications and reviews.

Processing times for the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) are available on EU Settlement Scheme: current estimated processing times for applications - GOV.UK

The latest published data on EUSS applications is contained within the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’

The most recent statistics relate to the year ending 30 September 2025.

A total of 8,662,309 EUSS applications had been submitted, and 8,550,572 applications had been concluded. This equates to 98.7% of all EUSS applications submitted by the end of September 2025 having been concluded.

The information requested for administrative reviews made against EUSS application decisions is not currently available from published statistics and the relevant data could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
