Processing times for different type of applications
If your application can be processed by a computer, you will normally receive a decision within two days.
However, if your application must be processed by a case officer, you should anticipate a processing time of several weeks. We are working as fast as we can and we are doing everything we can to ensure you can receive an answer as quickly as possible.
