The petition decision letter is sent as an attachment to the York email address indicated on the Petition Application.
Under normal circumstances petitions can take from 4 to 8 weeks, and sometimes longer, depending on whether or not the petition initially is complete, or is awaiting supporting documentation; the time needed to aquire additional information or clarification; as well as the type of petition submitted, and the time of year when the petition was submitted. Very high volume typically results in extended wait times for petitions submitted April to October.
If your petition is denied, information regarding appeal procedures will be included in the decision letter.
