The majority of applications are concluded within 5 working days. However, it is likely to take longer in the following instances:</p><ul><li>Further information is required from an applicant;</li><li>If the applicant is applying as a minor and or the application is not linked to an adult;</li><li>If the applicant has submitted a paper application;</li><li>If the applicant has a relevant criminal record;</li><li>If the applicant is a non-EEA or non-Swiss citizen and are applying based on a relationship not relied on in a previous application to the Home Office.</li></ul><p>Overall, the total number of applications that have been concluded, as of 30 September 2019, was more than 1.5 million (1,524,500). Of these, 61% were granted settled status, 38% were granted pre-settled status.</p><p> </p>

Specific designation criteria set out by that resolution can be applied when there is evidence of individuals or entities engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Yemen. Five individuals are currently designated under this regime and are subject to asset freezes and travel bans.
