The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the gov.uk website entitled visa processing times: applications inside the UK, will be updated to reflect the average processing time for an application for leave to remain as a partner or spouse - private life (minimum income and English language not required).

Answered by Mike Tapp

There are currently no plans to update the gov.uk website to reflect the average processing time for an application for leave to remain as a partner or spouse - private life (minimum income and English language not required). The Department will review the gov.uk website data in due course.

Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics, taking into account a number of factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data. These reviews allow us to balance the production of our regular statistics whilst developing new statistics for future release.
