<p>The current processing of overseas visa applications is mainly carried out on the
Proviso caseworking IT system. The Department continues to review the effectiveness
of this system to ensure it provides a robust platform from which applications can
be concluded within UKVI’s existing customer service standards.</p><p>The Department
has already begun to transition overseas visa applications from Proviso to ATLAS for
example on the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) (BNO) and Ukrainian Scheme routes.
ATLAS is replacing the in-country IT system ‘CID’, and has provided efficiencies in
processing applications from the Access UK online application service, enabling automated
and integrated security checks, increased caseworking flexibility and the creation
of a fully Digital Immigration Status for individuals.</p><p>The full movement of
all overseas cases on-to ATLAS is scheduled over the course of the next three years”.</p>
