Exempt visa renewals from increase to income requirements for family visas

Petition Details

The Government plans to increase the income requirement for family visas from £18,600 to £38,700, a £20,000 rise. Family members who already have a visa should be exempt from the new rules! These new regulations should only apply to new applicants.

Additional Information

I live with my wife in the UK who is an non-EU citizen. We have applied for and completed our first spouse FLR visa and are three quarters through our second FLR before applying for ILR. I want the Government to be realistic with their new policies! The Government should not expect an individual to spend 5 years in a country on the provision that allows them to apply for residency then move the goal posts!
