<p>We do not make an estimation of those figures. The Home Office publishes data on the number of visas issued to join family members; this can be accessed at <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/734164/entry-visas3-jun-2018-tables.ods" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/734164/entry-visas3-jun-2018-tables.ods</a>. All applicants who do not meet the minimum income requirement will still be considered under exceptional circumstances.</p><p>We continue to keep the family Immigration Rules under review and make adjustments in light of feedback on their operation and impact. We have also taken into account the findings of the courts, including the Supreme Court judgment upholding the lawfulness of the minimum income re-quirement. Our overall assessment is that the family Immigration Rules are having the right impact and are helping to restore public confidence in the immigration system.</p>
