Migrants losing jobs due to Home Office visa delays, charity warns
Demonstrators protest outside the Home Office in London against plans to send migrants to Rwanda in June 2022

VISA processing delays are resulting in migrants losing work and even their homes, rights charity Praxis has warned. 

People seeking to extend their leave to remain are now waiting an average of 11 months for their applications to be processed by the Home Office. 

These delays are leaving an increasing number of people struggling to find or maintain employment because they don’t have any documentary evidence to prove their status or right to work, according to a report published today by the charity.
