TIMESCALES
The processing of an application starts once you either verify your identity and submit your documents online using the UK Immigration: ID Check app; or by attending your appointment at a visa application centre (VAC) to provide your fingerprints and a photograph (biometric information).
In certain cases, other factors may affect the overall processing times of an application. In these circumstances, it is expected that the case working team will email to confirm that they would not be able to meet the standard processing time Examples of this include:
(i) The complexity of the case.
(ii) Concerns about an individual meeting the eligibility requirements ( for example having a criminal record or an adverse immigration history).
(iii) Concerns about the documents presented with the application
(iv) If the applicant is requested to attend an interview.
