How we make decisions

We check your application and supporting documents to make sure you have sent us everything we need to make a decision.

The time it takes to process your application depends on the visa you apply for, your circumstances and the information you supply with your application. If your application is not complete you may have to wait longer for a decision about your visa.

When you applied, you set up an online account with us. You can log in to find out if we need more information from you and other information about your application's progress.

Note
You do not need to do anything else once you submit your application We will contact you if we need more information from you
