Amid upcoming (or recently implemented) changes which have and will increase significantly visa- or permit-related government fees or financial requirements, UK immigration authorities are facing a marked increase in application numbers with processing times in turn increasing. Applicants should anticipate delays to continue even after all government fee or financial requirement changes have come into effect, given there will be a pre-existing backlog of applications to still be resolved.
