Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when people with outstanding Turkish Businessperson visa applications will receive a decision on their application.
We received a significant increase in Turkish ECAA overseas applications before the route closed. Caseworking teams in UKVI continue to process ECAA applications and are focused on resolving them as quickly as possible.
At times, we may identify further information which is required in individual applications and need to contact applicants for this.
Some applications also require additional checks to be undertaken by the Home Office which may cause delays pending these essential checks being undertaken.
