GovWait Official government processing times, tracked weekly

How long will it take?
The current official answer, tracked.

Governments publish how long applications are taking — then overwrite the number every week and keep no history. We record every value with its source and date, so you can see the current official figure, how it has moved, and exactly where it came from.

Why trust these numbers?

Because they aren't ours. Every figure is the government's own published statistic — we just refuse to let it disappear. Each value links its official source, carries the agency's update date and our verification date, and joins a permanent history. Read the full methodology.
