<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The information requested on entry clearance applications
for adult dependent <br />relative settlement visas is not available and could only
be obtained at <br />disproportionate cost by the examination of a significant number
of individual <br />case records. <br /><br />The Home Office publishes quarterly
statistics on entry clearance visa <br />applications and resolutions (issued, refused,
withdrawn and lapsed) by <br />category in table be_01_q (Before Entry tables volume
2) within the <br />‘Immigration Statistics' release. A copy of the latest release,
‘Immigration <br />Statistics September – December 2013' is available from the Library
of the <br />House and from: <br />https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/series/immigration-stati<br
/>stics-quarterly-release.<br /><br />Within the table be_01_q , data relating to
adult dependent relatives of a <br />British Citizen in the UK or a settled person
in the UK are included in the <br />category ‘Family: Other (for immediate settlement)'
but cannot be identified <br />separately.<br /><br />The Home Office is reviewing
the collection of data relating to adult dependent <br />relative settlement visas.
Data are being developed and, subject to resolving <br />any data quality/recording
issues, it is planned to begin publishing data <br />specifically relating to adult
dependent relative settlement visas later this <br />year.<br /><br />A manual review
of the available management information to identify adult <br />dependent relative
applications granted in the period from 1 November 2012 to <br />30 September 2013
indicates that 34 settlement visas were issued in that period <br />to an adult dependent
relative under Appendix FM to the Immigration Rules. This <br />information is provisional
and subject to change. Corresponding information on <br />applications is not available.</p><p>
