Visas: Married People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many spousal visa applicants were exempted from the standard income threshold because their partner in the UK was receiving disability benefits in the last 12 months.
Answered by Mike Tapp
Data on the number of spousal visa applications which have been exempted from the standard income threshold does not form part of our data sets and is not published.
Obtaining the specific information requested would involve collating and verifying information and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
A range of processing data including case outcomes on spousal visa applications, can be found at: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK and Migration transparency data - GOV.UK.
