We would like UKVI to made decision or ask for more information (for non-straightforward application) in 6 months for standard applications For settlement or remain on a temporary basis in the UK . Or refund the application fees to the customer if it take more than 6 months .
More details
UKVI takes more than 6 months to contact customers with complex application about there applications to ask for more information rather than contact them within 12 weeks ,
The Home Office said the majority of delays occurred on “non-straightforward” or “complex” cases, but the department was increasingly using this reason to delay decisions for long periods of time.
It is unfair and unacceptable to leave applicants waiting for long periods, concerned for their futures.
