Information on administrative review processing times is not held centrally and is not currently captured in a publishable form.
Current timescales for processing administrative review applications are set out at Ask for a visa administrative review: If you're in the UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) (opens in a new tab), which states: “Currently, it can take 6 months or more to receive the result of the administrative review. If you haven’t had a decision on your application within 6 months, the Home Office will contact you with an update.”
For EUSS administrative review applications the current timescales are set out at: EU Settlement Scheme: apply for an administrative review - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) (opens in a new tab), which states: “We have experienced unprecedented levels of applications which is causing a delay to our usual service. It can take 18 months or more to receive the result of your administrative review. If we have not been able to decide your application within 6 months, we’ll contact you to update you on the situation”.
