The Home Office does not hold data on the nationality of offenders, and so
cannot provide data on the number of crimes committed by non-British nationals
that were recorded by police.

The Ministry of Justice collects details on the number of offenders and
offender characteristics, but does not collect information on the number of offences
that these offenders commit.<\/p>

From the 1st of June until the 31st of December 2013 there were 149,995
applications for family visit visas. Of those applications:

\u2022 111,990 were issued
\u2022 37,370 were refused
\u2022 65 were lapsed
\u2022 330 were withdrawn
\u2022 4,570 were given the right to appeal

These figures are based upon management information, and have been rounded to
the nearest 5. Until the 24th June 2013, any family visit visa that was refused
was given a right of appeal against that decision. The numbers above reflect
this change to appeal rights.<\/p>

<\/p>

Decisions regarding the location of our visa application centres, and the
places in which the applications are decided, are based on a number of
different factors, including geography, security issues, distribution of
demand, political and economic impacts, as well as the financial cost. The
Home Office uses commercial partners to help run its network of visa
application centres, which are the customer-facing end of the service. Under
new contracts which came into effect on 1 April, we will have 340 visa
application points in 142 countries around the world. Applications submitted at visa
application centres are then sent to one of our 32 decision-making hubs for
consideration.

On the Consular side, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) supports
British nationals through the Diplomatic network of 220 Posts around the world, in 170
countries. They also have a network of 230 Honorary Consuls who provide
support in places where the UK is not otherwise represented. Having consular
partners present in countries where the UK is not represented ensures British
nationals have immediate access to assistance. There are only three countries
in the world where there is no in country consular representation by the UK or
any of our main consular partners (EU, Australia, Canada, US or New Zealand).<\/p>

<\/p>

These are Palau, Sao Tome & Principe and Tuvalu. In these cases, UK Travel
Advice instructs British nationals to seek assistance when needed through the
nearest country with British diplomatic representation: Philippines, Angola and
Fiji respectively. The FCO currently advise against all travel to Syria and
warn British nationals who travel there that the FCO will not be able to
provide them with any assistance. The FCO also advise against all but
essential travel to Iran and advise British nationals to seek assistance from
any EU Member State present in the country.<\/p>
