What is interesting from this report is the data at the end.
The new rules pushed the refusal rate for the spouse visa from 10% to 50% - it also dramatically increased processing time. Now I think that those reading here will have believed this anyway through anecdotal evidence, but it's good to see it laid out here.
I'd like to see the 2013 statistics for both. Any rule change is likely to have an effect on the refusal rate from those who thought they knew the rules and then discovered they didn't - and similarly on the knowledge transition in the processing centres.
So I would expect both those numbers to level off - but it'd be interesting to see where they get to.
