Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking (1) to address expedited UK Family Visa applications, and (2) to provide early right to remain for those applicants.

Requests to expedite UK Family applications are considered on a case-by-case basis and take a range of factors into consideration.

An applicant applying in the UK to extend a family visa (spouse or partner on a 5-year route to settlement) should get a decision within 8 weeks.
