A short inspection of visit visa operations
The inspection team anticipate reporting to the Home Secretary by February 2023
The Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration has commenced an inspection of visit visa operations.
The inspection team will visit decision-making centres in Croydon and Liverpool in the coming weeks. The scope of this inspection will focus on the efficiency, effectiveness and consistency of UK Visa & Immigration’s interim workflow routing solution in visit visa operations.
While this inspection was not included in my 2022-2023 inspection plan, my Plan does include scope for re-inspections or unannounced inspections to reflect in-year developments and areas of emerging interest.
The inspection team anticipates reporting to the Home Secretary by February 2023.
