"UKVI is prioritising Ukraine Family Scheme applications"

UKVI is prioritising Ukraine Family Scheme applications in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the invasion of Ukraine, and so applications for study, work and family visas may take longer to process.

‘Priority’ and ‘super priority’ visa services have been temporarily suspended for new study, work and family visa applications.

Standard visitor visas are currently taking an average of 6 weeks to process.

UKVI apologise for any inconvenience caused.

You will be contacted by the visa application centre when your passport is ready for collection. Do not attend the visa application centre until you have been invited to do so.

Before applying for your visa, please check the latest information on travel to England from another country during coronavirus (COVID-19).
