Rejected petition Change immigration laws

More details

If a non EEA partner of a British person with a child/children together wants to come to work in the UK but cannot be sponsored by their partner due to financial difficulties - the foreign person should be able to be sponsored by non-immediate family also. The £18,600 a year financial requirement is ridiculously high for working class British citizens, especially for the younger people who just want to be together as a family. Change the laws so that they can come to England and work providing they are sponsored by someone in the family, but just cannot claim benefits off of the state. Please sign!
