Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the current average processing time is for EU family permit applications.

The published service standards for EEA and EUSS family permits can be found at Visa decision waiting times: applications outside the UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). which states;

If you are applying for an EEA family permit or an EUSS family permit you will get a decision as soon as possible after proving your identity and provided your documents.

Therefore, there are no time-bound service standard attached to these routes

Our aim is to process all applications for an EUSS Family Permit as soon as possible.

The Home Office publishes data on entry clearance visas in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on EEA Family Permit and EU Settlement Scheme family permit applications and outcomes are published in table Vis_D01 and Vis_D02 of the entry clearance visa detailed datasets. Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook.
