These are for the last 12 months and exclude withdrawals and bulk refusals resulting from legislation. It's just the percentage of permanent resident applications that were processed and refused. I ordered them from highest percentage of refusals to lowest. These include all PRV types. I may pull the data for just spousal later on.

Thanks for the information

Hard to determine much from just percentages without how many applications and what class Visa's were applied for. Without knowing what class was applied for then it stands to reason that big embassies like London and Singapore would have big percentage of refusals.

Thanks PMM as I thought Spouse sponsorship paints an entirely different picture to those percentages that were quoted infact a 93% success rate for Spouse sponsorships out of 1450 applicants. That link you sent puts these crazy %'s in to perspective as a huge percentage of refusals is in the FSW programme.
