<p>The Home Office publishes visa application data, including the number of settlement
applications made, online at the following address: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-april-to-june-2017"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-april-to-june-2017</a>
(under ‘list of tables - 2. Visas’).</p><p> </p><p>Data on visa processing times,
including the percentage of visas processed within published service standards, is
also published online at the following address: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-transparency-data"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-transparency-data</a>
(then listed by publication date under ‘UK Visas & Immigration’)</p><p>UKVI’s
published timescale for processing standard visa applications is 12 weeks (60 working
days) for settlement applications, and three weeks (15 working days) for non-settlement
applications. Applications made under the priority visa service will be placed to
the front of the processing queue and expedited, however timescales for decision are
not guaranteed. If there is a problem with an application or it is complex and expected
to take longer than the standard processing timescale, UKVI will write to the customer
within the standard processing time and explain what will happen next.</p>
