The minimum income requirement is already controversial and reports suggest that the new threshold will exclude 70% of the public from sponsoring a loved one.
Key Points:
- The minimum income requirement is already controversial and reports suggest that the new threshold will exclude 70% of the public from sponsoring a loved one.
- In addition, long and drawn-out legal challenges seem inevitable, which could further add to the uncertainty that families face.
- ‘The minimum income requirement already forces families to live apart for extended periods and, in some cases, permanently.
- We do not believe that the Home Office would deliberately separate families already living in the UK, but we know that many families are worried.
