The published service standards for EEA and EUSS family permits 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.

This can be found at:

www.gov.uk/guidance/visa-decision-waiting-times-applications-outside-the-uk#if-you-want-to-join-family-in-the-uk

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

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 data sets which can be found at:

www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/managed-migration-datasets

Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook.
