🚨 The Join Family crisis

Join Family applications (Category B sponsor) from April 2024 are only now being processed in June 2026 — a 26-month backlog. This is by far the worst-performing category. Employment and business visas are processed within 10 weeks. The gap reflects a deliberate prioritisation policy at ISD.
