Doubling amount husbands must earn to £26,000 would block two thirds immigrant brides

Professor David Metcalf, chairman of the Migration Advisory Committee, said a minimum salary of between £18,600 and £25,700 should be introduced for UK residents sponsoring a partner or dependant for UK citizenship.

This minimum, which applies equally to British citizens and immigrants, is currently set at around £13,700.

Good for you Arthur. This has got me so mad. If they want to wind anyone up they sure know how to do it. A figure is stated in the post minimum income is £13700. Why did the uk border person say there was no income limit when I asked? Or am i reading it wrong?

, Andy ... that's MY train of thought too!! Tbh, I'd no there was any set minimum ... yet! As far as I'm aware, these unrealistic proposals are presently at the drawing-board stage ... and what the UKBA person led you to believe, still applies.
