If there is any delay expected in the processing time of the application, the individual will be contacted by UKVI and informed about the delay. Where someone is unable to make arrangements to travel to the UK within 30 days, they can apply for a replacement visa.</p><p>We continue to engage with stakeholders to ensure we deliver further improvements including reviewing the visa issuing processes and associated guidance.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 13/06/2016 17:09:39 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>There are several routes for children to be reunited safely with their families in the UK. Applications for family reunion for individuals under the age of 18 years of age can be received both in country and out of country and are processed by a number of casework units within the Home Office including International Operations, Settlement, Complex Casework and Asylum Operations. Unfortunately the way these applications are processed and the method used to store the data on the main immigration database means that not all of the data is recorded in a format that can be reported on automatically and would therefore require a manual investigation of thousands of case records. As a result this data could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p><p>Since 2010 we have granted more than 21,000 family reunion visas and 175 visas for exceptional circumstances though we are not able to distinguish from the data how many of these applicants were under the age of 18. Internal Management information concerning applications from people under 18 processed by International Operations and Complex Casework are listed in the table below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Complex Casework</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>14</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>14</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>24</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Grand Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>77</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>International Operations</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2950</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2406</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2624</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>2882</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>3088</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Grand Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>13950</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>This is provisional management information that is subject to change.

The current policy meets our international obligations and strikes the right balance.</p><p>Where family members cannot meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules, such as in the case of an 18 year old applying to join their refugee parents in the UK, we consider whether there are exceptional circumstances or compassionate reasons to justify granting entry clearance outside the Rules.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 06/06/2016 16:22:51 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
