Waiting times for processing applications for protection
-
I have an application for collective protection. How long will I have to wait for the decision on my case?
Most applications for collective protection are processed automatically, and not by a case process worker. Some cases must, however, be processed by a case process worker.
If your application is processed automatically, you can expect to receive an answer shortly.
If your application needs to be processed by a case process worker, the waiting time will be longer.
The vast majority of applicants in this group receive an answer within 4 months. Many applicants will have an answer earlier. Some cases may take longer.
We do not always process the oldest cases first, so you may find that someone who applied after you receives an answer before you. Having to wait longer does not mean that there is anything wrong with your case.
