Family visit visa refusals
Dear Home Office,
By 'family visit visa' I refer to a visit visa where the applicant seeks to visit a member of their family in the United Kingdom. This information would until June 2013 have affected whether there was a right of appeal, so I would imagine that it is recorded information.
I would be grateful if you could tell me the proportion of family visit visas refused for the following periods:
1. The year to July 2012 (July 2011 to June 2012)
2. The year to July 2013 (July 2012 to June 2013)
3. The six months following July 2013 (July 2013 to January 2014)
Yours faithfully,
Colin Yeo

Dear Home Office,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Home Office's handling of my FOI request 'Family visit visa refusals'.
In my request I asked for the "proportion" of refusals, not the absolute numbers. It was the absolute numbers that was provided. I would be grateful if the proportion could be provided.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/f...
