Number of applications concluded
Concluded applications may relate to an application made in a prior month, and applications received in the latest month may not be concluded until a later month. Therefore,applications concluded are not directly comparable with applications received for the same period.
The number of applications concluded in February 2020 was 268,100. Of these, 55% were granted settled status and 42% were granted pre-settled status. Of the remaining applications, 4,300 received a withdrawn or void outcome, 2,000 were invalid, and 300 were refused. Of the refusals, the vast majority (more than 98%) were refused on eligibility grounds
, and the remainder (less than 2%) were refused on suitability grounds
.
Overall, as of 29 February 2020, the total number of applications that have been concluded was almost 3 million (2,998,300). Of these, 58% were granted settled status and 41% were granted pre-settled status. Of the remaining applications, 19,100 received a withdrawn or void outcome, 6,800 were invalid and 300 were refused.In February 2020, the Home Office began refusing EU Settlement Scheme applications on
eligibility grounds, and these are shown in this month’s statistics. Many of these eligibility refusals relate to cases that had been under consideration for several months and, in most cases, subject to repeated unsuccessful attempts to obtain missing evidence or information from the applicant.
Additional information on application criteria can be found in Appendix EU to the Immigration
Rules.
