Changes to waiting times due to the situation with the coronavirus
We do not know now what significance the situation with the coronavirus will have on the waiting time for applications we are processing, but it is likely that it will lead to longer waiting times for some cases.
We will update the waiting times for each case type when we know more. We do not have any further information about waiting time than what you find on these pages.
