Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Family Reunion visa applications from 2022 are outstanding.

The number of outstanding applications are published in quarterly transparency data. The most recent data can be found at Asylum and resettlement datasets - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). The next data is due to be published in or around September 2023.

We prioritise all applications where the application has been made by an unaccompanied child under the age of 18. We will also prioritise applications where there is an evidenced urgent or compelling reason.
