Performance against service standards is reported quarterly, figures for spousal visa applications are included within the overall figures published which indicate the majority of straightforward applications are processed within service standards.

The available information on processing against service standards is published in the Department’s Migration transparency data at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-operations-transparency-data-august-2018,
