As the UK moves into the peak period for visa applications, data provided by Enroly on visa processing times indicates that the current rate of visas issued is not keeping pace with recent increases in CAS issuance.
Enroly operates an admissions automation platform known as ‘CAS Shield’ for one-in-five British universities. The latest data, based on thousands of self-reported outcomes from students using the platform, compares visa statistics from a cross-section of UK higher education institutions which use the service.
The results show the average processing time, from visa application to visa issued, is currently 30 calendar days for the September 2022 intake, slightly longer than the target three weeks currently being communicated by UKVI.
