I read earlier that it is 90% approval for UK spouse visas.

I looked around and saw that a Freedom of Information request was made in December last year and UKBA replied in January this year (2011).

From this it appears that 90% approval might be wrong and 57% approval would be better i.e 14025 settlement visas and 7995 approved in the last year of the data.

Proof of what I have said:

and specifically

http://www.whatdothe.../3/Document.pdf for the data.

Can this be confirmed or denied (with credible sources).

I am sure this will help some.

Thanks.

The information is not difficult to find; it's published by the Home Office!

You can follow the links from the UKBA home page (click on 'About Us' and then on 'Statistics') but to save you the trouble, click here.

You are no doubt referring to a post of mine where I quoted this figure. Different countries obviously have different acceptance rates; some high, others low. As this is a THAI forum the figure I quoted is obviously for applications made in Thailand.

Question asked and answered, so closed.
