More details

We would like the following point to be changed

"Introducing a new minimum income threshold of £18,600 for sponsoring the settlement in the UK of a spouse or partner, or fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of non-European Economic Area (EEA)."

Due to there a some people in the united Kingdom that only have jobs that pay the minimum wage.

i.e a person is on £6.08 per hour works 40 hours per week for 52 weeks that person anual income is ((6.08x40)x52) = £12,646.40
