answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2022 answer text <p>Under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) Pathway 3, the FCDO launched an online system on 20 June where eligible individuals were able to express interest in UK resettlement. To give everyone time to submit an Expression of interest (EOI), the online system was kept open for 8 weeks and closed on 15 August. Details of how to express interest were widely and directly communicated to those in the eligible groups. The online form was translated into Dari and Pashto, and individuals could access the form using a variety of mobile devices, as well as laptops. The form allowed for someone to express interest on behalf of another person, if that person was unable to access the online form directly. The FCDO received over 11,400 EOIs.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 22/12/2022 14:11:07 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
