Rejected petition Reduce the £18k income requirement for the "spouse of a British citizen" visa
More details
I will marry my Korean fiancée this year, but this is not enough for Theresa May. My fiancée's working holiday visa will expire in June 2016. I will graduate from university around the same time. As a student, I do not earn £18k per year.
I am a British citizen and I will be forced out of the UK, because I do not meet the official income requirement to support my spouse, even though she is working here already and is able to support herself, this income is not considered.
EU citizens can bring their spouses into the EU with no income requirement at all. Please get the government to reconsider this barbaric law that is tearing families apart.
It is not the place of government to tell me to leave the UK or leave my partner.
Join me and make them reconsider.
