The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure sponsor licenses are processed within the service standards timeframes.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

All fully completed, straightforward sponsor licence applications are currently being considered within the service standard timeframes.

Only a small number of applications remain outside the service level agreement in cases where further information is required to support their application or where we are awaiting the outcome of a visit to the applicant’s premises.
