Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of tier 4 visa applications for students have been processed within the service level agreement timescales in the latest period for which figures are available.
The available information on processing of Tier 4 out of country visa (and in-country visa) applications against service standards is published in the transparency data at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-transparency-data#uk-visas-and-immigration
The latest available data indicates the vast majority, 98.1% (and 99.8%) of straightforward cases were dealt with within service standards.
Information on students who may have missed their university start date is not collated for publication on Home Office visa case-working systems.
