Actual SET(O) Processing performance - Freedom of Info Act

[Mel-Mex]

Hi everybody!!

Here is a compilation of the actual numbers of SET(O) applications that UKBA decides within 6 months. All information was provided by the agency under the freedom on Information Act within the last 6-9 months.

The results show that between 34%- 89% of applications are still outstanding after 6 months. This is FAR (i mean light years apart!) from the 5% that should be remaining after this period. What ever happened to "95% of applications received, are decided within 6 months"??

According to:

FOI 25408 letter dated 25th Feb 2013 -
A total of 905 SET (O) postal applications were received in the period from 30 July 2012 to 10 August 2012. Of these 315 applications have been completed (i.e. processed) and 590 are pending (34%).

FOI 25108 letter dated 25th Feb 2013 -
A total of 479 SET(O) postal applications were received in the period from 16 July to 22 July 2012, of which on the 11th Feb, a total of 282 remain outstanding (58.8% OUTSTANDING).

FOI 25141 dated 23 January 2013 -
A total of 1,260 SET (O) long residence (10 year) applications received in the months of June and July 2012, of which 296 have been decided (23.5%)

FOI 24952 dated 14 Jan 2013 -
A total of 384 SET (O) postal applications were received between14 to 18 May 2012. Of which 85 were long residency (10 years) indefinite leave to remain applications.
Of the 384 SET (O) postal applications received, 293 have been decided (76%). Of the 85 long residency applications received, 68 have been decided (80%).

FOI 25089 dated 12 Dec 2012 -
A total of 612 SET (O) applications were received in the period from 25 to 29 June 2012, of which 507 remain pending. (82% OUSTANDING!)

Any thoughts??

Thanks Mel-Mex, I have and i know about this website. I was looking specifically for the link for application in July. And i thought it was single question and answer. As you post seems to be very comprehensive and detailed. Many thanks.

for them, these are only numbers which they "promise" to achieve

if they fail, what can we do? I don't think it's in the best interest and priority of the government to deal with this issue

we just have to live with it
