<p>We are continuing the process to grant Indefinite Leave to Remain to all eligible
individuals who arrived during the evacuation: officials have already registered over
13,000 (and counting) applications for resettlement from Afghans in the UK, with biometric
residence permits being issued accordingly. In the meantime, applicants remain eligible
to work and access services under their continuing leave.</p><p>At 12 August 2022,
we have granted Indefinite Leave to Remain to 11,303 individuals across the ARAP and
ACRS, since they opened in April 2021 and Jan 2022, respectively. We are unable, at
this time, to provide a breakdown of whether a grant of leave was made under the ARAP
or the ACRS Pathway 1. Work is underway to assure information relating to all the
individuals relocated under the ARAP and ACRS on case working systems. Once this work
concludes, statistics on both schemes - including the number of people resettled under
each - will be included in future editions of the Immigration Statistics. <br> <br>
More information on the number of grants of Indefinite Leave to Remain issued to Afghans
resettling under the ARAP or ACRS can be viewed at: <br> <br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/afghan-resettlement-programme-operational-data/afghan-resettlement-programme-operational-data"
