Alex Ellis, British High Commissioner to India, informed that the UK is on track to get back to the 15-day standard processing timings for India to UK visa applications.
Due to the border closure during the pandemic, a lot of piled-up visa applications resulted in immigration backlogs– forcing many students and workers to reschedule their travel.
British High Commissioner to India tweeted a video where he talks about how the country aims to reach this goal of 15 days visa processing time before year-end.
According to him, the visa processing got well outside of the 15-day working standard because of a combination of different things, including a surge in visa applications, the effects post Covid-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
