Rejected petition Don’t increase the income requirement for family visas to £29.000

Currently the financial requirements to bring your spouse to the UK is £18,600 per year and now the Government wants to up it to £29.000. Most people in the UK don’t make that per year. We believe this policy punishes those who fall in love with someone with a different nationality.

More details

Most people in the UK don’t make £29.000 per year and now may face the choice of a lifetime without their partner or leaving their own country because they fell in love and can’t meet the financial requirement for the family visa.

We believe it's inhumane for the Government to do this to British citizens and others entitled to family visas, and that this policy is punishing people for failing in love with someone who has a different nationality.
