Legal Aid isn't available for a spouse visa application. The Rules changed in 2013 and there has been a reduction on the category of Immigration and Asylum cases that have access to Legal Aid. They are as follows:
Detention & bail cases
Applications for leave to remain under the domestic violence rule
Applications for leave by those identified as victims of trafficking
Proceedings before the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, ie; deportation and deprivation of citizenship cases where information is to be kept confidential for reasons of national security
Many asylum cases & appeals
Applications for leave to remain or settlement as a refugee with humanitarian protection/discretionary leave under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, ie; freedom from torture or inhuman and degrading treatment
Some judicial review applications, in limited circumstances.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
