Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many EU Settlement Scheme Applications are waiting for an administrative review to be completed; and what proportion of those applications have waited more than 12 months for a decision.

Information on the age profile of outstanding administrative reviews is not held centrally and is not currently captured in a publishable form.

Current timescales for processing administrative review applications are set out on Gov.UK. For applicants challenging EU Settlement Scheme decisions, Gov.UK (EU Settlement Scheme: apply for an administrative review - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)) states: ‘It can take 12 months or more to receive the result of your administrative review. If we have not been able to decide your application within 6 months, we’ll contact you to update you on the situation.’
