How long will my case take?
It is difficult to estimate exactly how long the Home Office will take to process your application. The government's website provides some guidance on visa processing times and can be found here. Please note that times vary dependent upon whether the application is made within the UK or outside. Processing times often are based upon the complexity of the case.
Factors influencing the length and cost of your case
Several factors may affect the overall length and cost of your case, including:
- Providing information that is inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or not translated.
- Delays in supplying requested documentation or information.
- Unforeseen issues related to your immigration history, personal circumstances, or financial situation that were not previously disclosed.
- The complexity of the application.
- Urgent deadlines requiring expedited work.
