Exactly.. End of argument.. Say no more.. Case closed!!
Goodnight.

Sorry but this list proves nothing

[London_Manila]

i may as well add my thoughts now, what a sad person you must be to pick these ladies, then for them to ask you for money, and then you have the gall to move onto the next, you sort give everyone a bad name, best bet for you is to save your money and dont get involved with anyone

I dont remember forcing anyone to spend some time with me

I am single enjoy myself and have a good time nothing wrong with that

If i wanted to support a large family in the province then i would get "loved up" and married but i am too busy having a good time

I am only doing what most of you guys would love to do but you cant because you dont have my freedom

[fred]

I hope and wish everyone can be with their partners and live happy forever

just prove you can support them surely thats not to much to ask !

The Mrs and I lived on just over a grand a month and that included a mortgage for a 3 bed semi in the south east for 5 years whilst we were planning our exit from the UK (in our early 40`s).. We have 3 kids and are now in our 6th year here in P.I... Never to return.
When we first got married 25 years ago we were both broke.. She got her visa from the Embassy the week after we married.. Neither of us asked the government in the UK for anything..
We worked for a living and established our lives as a couple..
That was the norm in traditional British family life.
These days a newly married couple needs 26k a year before they start married life!!!
Glad Im not 21 again.

Sorry but this list proves nothing

So go ahead.. Disprove it!!
As I said... Case closed!

The government are just asking these guys to prove that they can support their sweethearts surely they have the right to do that ?

Yes, but the mans point was that if the government think 26 grand is required then by the same token they must surely think the existing state benefit is woefully inadequate.

Or put it another way, if the government think that the existing state benefit is enough then they must surely think that 26 grand for settlement visa applicants is more than adequate.....

So.....sounds like you are one of these 'sex tourists' then?

Please read this thread Mr London, tell this member he is not able to bring his wife here because he is not earning enough. Tell him to go earn more and see what response you get

Don't give the troll the satisfaction guys.

Let him scuttle off back to Angeles or wherever he busies himself taking advantage of poverty-stricken young girls, with no responsibility or conscience required.

The government are under pressure to limit the immigration into this country, they see that the non EU route as the easiest to implement changes.

Similar to the proposed child benefit cap, the government seem to think by putting a single figure for salary that this is the best option?

With the increase in the cost of living, such as, fuel prices rising, high utilities bills and with most other basic needs increasing, it could be seen that £26,000 may be needed to support another person.

The amount should not be based on how much you earn but on your expenditure. By providing the 6 months of bank statements, they should show the regular income going in and a positive balance after the monthly outgoings.

looks like were going to all get by uk gov one way or another

[grahamw48]

A lot of it would have to have happened anyway because of the mess the last one left us in.

Borrow borrow borrow, like there's no tomorrow.

Well there is...and it's here.

And also Labours open door immigration policy which allowed in millions of scum of the earth who then hoover up benefits, housing, education, healthcare etc

[grahamw48]

True !!!

I think he is on great money by working a night shift in London, he only posts at 2 to 3am, maybe he doesn't want to have a face off with us

I stand by my last last post 26k is on the low side for someone about to bring another person to reside in this country

... how NOT to win friends and irritate people, eh!?

A Scot would have at least 20 grand of that put away.

[Arthur Little]

26k is on the low side for someone about to bring another person to reside in this country

You really think so, do you?

What if I were to tell you that, as an ordinary OAP my total Annual Income - inclusive of Occupational & State Retirement Pensions, respectively - amounts to just under £16k ... i.e., a full £10,000 lower than the Government's recommended minimum.

Am I to suppose - if you are to be believed - that someone in my financial situation should be debarred from bringing his/her non~European partner to the country where he/she was born and bred?

... regardless of being considered "affluent" enough to continue contributing to HM Inland Revenue coffers.

For the record, my wife is a BSc honours graduate whose degree is worth bugger all in the UK - irrespective of a successful 22-year teaching career in the Philippines. How fair is that, huh?

Yet, despite the fact that neither of us is working, we still manage to live comfortably - WITHOUT the need to rely on public funds.

So think on ...

[imagine]

26k my

A good post and i am happy everything has worked out for you

with the sheer numbers of people entering the uk and planning to live here of course the government have to bring in tighter controls

[London_Manila]

So go ahead.. Disprove it!!
As I said... Case closed!

I dont see what the benefits scale has to do with someone wanting to bring another person into the uk to live here

[London_Manila]

Yes, but the mans point was that if the government think 26 grand is required then by the same token they must surely think the existing state benefit is woefully inadequate.

Or put it another way, if the government think that the existing state benefit is enough then they must surely think that 26 grand for settlement visa applicants is more than adequate.....

I am sure that living on benefits is not so great and quoting these figures is not helping your case at all
