<p>Please find published transparency data regarding consideration times for fee waivers
in relation to permission to stay here: Immigration and protection data: Q4 2023 -
GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).</p><p>Where a fee waiver application is submitted in relation
to a subsequent application for permission to stay, while the applicant still has
valid permission, and that permission expires while the fee waiver application is
outstanding, section 3C of the 1971 Immigration Act will automatically extend the
person’s permission while the fee waiver and linked application are still pending.</p><p>In
the case of applicants where there is evidence of significant vulnerability, for example
homeless individuals, the department makes efforts to prioritise consideration of
their fee waiver application to support resolution of status.</p>
