Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of processing times for visas under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
UKVI aims to assess all Ukraine Schemes visa applications as quickly as possible and straightforward applications are processed within a matter of days. It is right, however, that visas are only issued after all necessary checks have been completed which may take longer on some cases.
As of 24 February 2022, the UK Government has issued 219,723 visas under the Ukraine Schemes, of which over 150,000 visas have been issued under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme.
