Immigration: Applications
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the administrative review backlog.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
Caseworking resource for administrative reviews has doubled since 2021/22, which was the first of consecutive years of significantly increased demand. 2023/24 saw a 50% increase in AR applications compared to the previous year, and intake through 2024/25 continued at those same increased levels.
The Home Office continues to work hard to meet the timescales set out in public guidance for the processing of administrative review applications.
