Article summary

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has published an update to the 'Visa decision waiting times: applications outside the UK' webpage on 12 March 2022 which states that overseas ‘priority’ and ‘super priority’ visa services have been temporarily suspended for new study, work and family applications. UKVI has said that this is because Ukraine Family Scheme applications are being prioritised. The update also provides that standard visitor visas are taking an average of six weeks to be processed.
