📢 Updated EU Settlement Scheme statistics are out. In January, we are seeing:
👉 the highest % to date of refused, withdrawn or invalid applications - a whopping 34%
👉 continued low processing rate; the backlog of 315,000 applications will take 24 months to clear at this rate
👉 the highest % to date of refused, withdrawn or invalid applications - a whopping 34%
👉 continued low processing rate; the backlog of 315,000 applications will take 24 months to clear at this rate
Only 69k applications were concluded in Jan 2022, still leaving 315k in the backlog facing insecurity, worries and threats to their ability to work, rent and live in the UK.
This backlog doesn't include Family Permit applications. We are also seeing reports of family members of EU citizens facing awful consequences because they are waiting for months on end for decisions. The most vulnerable are the most affected - eg seriously ill parents.
From 69,100 applications, 23.4k were refused, rejected or withdrawn, the highest percentage to date.
