Petition Stop/ reduce the financial requirement in immigration -It's breaking up families

Financial requirements are too high and minimum wage is too low. Lower the financial criteria to minimum wage or get rid of it. Families are being broken by the Home Office as they are deporting genuine family members out of the UK and creating skype families.

More details

You need to earn £18,600 for a spouse visa. When there's a child involved and the member of the family has no working rights, the financial criteria is impossible to reach. It’s destroying lives and making people mentally ill.
