Most applications took over a year's time? That means that...students cannot study/travel/work, workers cannot show proof of their status, no one with a visa travelled last year, and everyone's applications was in the 'pending' tray. I highly doubt it takes 'years for decisions to be made'. As with syh, if it is for long residence/overstayers, what do we expect? Not that I think it should take 'years', but they are not priority. If it takes 6 years to make a decision...wouldn't they already be naturalised by then?On top of paying around £335 or more, on most applications, at last year's rates for a postal application, applicants are having to wait for years for decisions to be made. Between 2 - 6 years in some cases.
How long does it take to ensure that no applications are fraudulently submitted, that all documentation is correct, that they are who they say they are? Hey I don't know exactly what they check, but I do think that most people, on average, get their applications answered within a reasonable amount of time. Those who wait longer than one year are the exception, and whilst it may be right to campaign for them, I don't think you can get that much support, since people are more concerned about immigration changes (to the rules) than immigration waiting times (which many people would agree is fairly good compared to many other countries).petition wrote:Indeed most applications are dealt with fairly quickly. I have some clients who have been waiting for over 5 years.
NO APPLICATION SHOULD TAKE LONGER THAN A YEAR TO PROCESS.
Regardless of the circumstance....how long does it take to say "yes" or "no"?
How about "no application should take longer than an hour"? People would be able to hand in their application, pop out for a coffee, do some shopping, then collect their passports.petition wrote:Indeed most applications are dealt with fairly quickly.

They can take a maximum of 6 months, according to the directive.limey wrote:They are not so quick at processing EEA Family Permit applications!
It has been 3.5 months and I'm still waiting!
So I signed the petition.
My criticism of the Home Office has always been policy-related, i.e. I don't agree with the immigration rules and regulations that they come up with.Hernancortes wrote:This petition is completely ridiculous. I'm no fan of the Home Office, but they probably have the most effecient immigration processing system in Europe, if not the world.
Is that some joke, Dawie?
Have you heard of the legacy cases being dealth with by the HO?
The idea that they are efficient is ludicrous.
