Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the acceptance rate for Adult Dependent Relative visa applications was in each of the last five years.

The Home Office publishes data on Family visas in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on visa applications are published in table ‘Vis_D01’ whilst data on the outcomes of visa applications are published in table ‘Vis_D02’ of the detailed entry clearance visas dataset. Further information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates up to the end of June 2024.

Notes

1. Adult dependant relative visas are a subset of the ‘Family: Other (for immediate settlement)’ visa type subgroup.

2. An application submitted may receive an outcome in a different quarter.
3. To calculate the grant rate, we recommend taking the number of grants and divide by the total outcomes (grants, refusals, withdrawals, and lapsed) in a specified period.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
