Migrant Workers: Visas

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how long on average it has taken for visa applications sponsored by employers and identified as complex to be processed in the last 12 months.

Answer

UKVI are unable to determine how many employers are awaiting the outcome of visa applications, as numerous applications may be linked to one employer and we do not produce published data on this.

The latest published data that shows the breakdown by the length of time taken to process a sponsorship application and the average length of time taken (days) to process a sponsorship application can be found here at Sponsorship transparency data: Q2 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
