The Home Office migration transparency data page lists eleven tables headed April to June 2026, covering sponsorship, visas, asylum, enforcement and passports, with monthly Windrush Compensation Scheme data listed alongside.

The collection covers Border Force, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), Immigration Enforcement, and Passports, Citizenship and Civil Registration. The Home Office says the data is voluntarily compliant with the Code of Practice for Statistics. It includes data regularly requested by the Home Affairs Select Committee.

Sponsorship. Sponsorship transparency data: April to June 2026 (ODS, 57.4 KB) gives the number of new sponsor applications in each route. It also gives the number of organisations registered to sponsor an overseas national in the Skilled Worker, temporary worker and student routes. The table includes:

  • performance against the service standard for processing a sponsorship application;
  • the average time taken, in days;
  • the percentage of student sponsors with full "student sponsor" status;
  • action taken against sponsors, meaning suspensions and revocations.

Visas and status. Visas, status and immigration data: April to June 2026 (ODS, 566 KB) covers overseas and in-country applications received and input for each route, performance against service standard, and applications outstanding (work in progress, WIP). It also has Life in the UK Test intake and pass rates, and the cost of each decision.

Asylum and protection. Immigration and protection data: April to June 2026 (MS Excel, 1.58 MB) includes the percentage of initial asylum decisions made within 6 months, the size and age of outstanding decisions, productivity rates, decision quality and the cost of processing an application. It also covers appeal representation rates, human rights applications, change of conditions (no recourse to public funds), fee waivers and citizenship deprivation orders. Asylum Support data: April to June 2026 covers section 4 and section 95 support applications and transfers of children under the national transfer scheme.
