United Kingdom: Visa Processing Delay due to Ukraine Prioritisation

The UK Visas and Immigration department announced that due to prioritisation of Ukraine Family Scheme applications, processing times for general visa and immigration applications are expected to increase. This would affect applications for study, work and family visas, among others. Additionally, 'priority' and 'super priority' visa services have been temporarily suspended due to the priorisation of new visa applications. In the United States, Gold and Silver consular services are suspended until further notice. Affected applications will be downgraded to the next available service level. Standard visitor visas are currently taking approximately six weeks to process.
