Background
Delays can harm jobs, businesses, mental health and children’s welfare. We want the Government to set an 8-week maximum decision time with automatic priority processing for family cases. With no access to public funds, delays can affect work, businesses, housing, mental health and children’s wellbeing. We believe British children should not suffer because a parent’s application is delayed.
