Migrant Workers: Visas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average processing time is for a Skilled Worker visa.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
Data on performance against service standards is published through migration transparency data and can be found at: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The Home Office also publishes information on visa processing times for applications inside and outside the UK at: Visa processing times - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The Home Office makes every attempt to meet the service level agreement standard, but in certain cases additional checks are required which can mean visa requests take longer to process.
