Margaret Ferrier – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Margaret Ferrier on 2015-10-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the efficacy of her Department’s procedures and adequacy of the end-to-end timescale in relation to applications for no time limit and biometric immigration documentation by someone who already has indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

There are no plans for a specific review of the administrative handling of immigration applications. UK Visas and Immigration is, however, committed to the principles of continuous improvement and to applying these to ensure processes are efficient and effective.

The administrative requirements, and service standards, to which applicants for indefinite leave to remain are subject, are set out at www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/settle-in-the-uk. This information is reviewed regularly, with a view to ensuring it is as clear as possible.
