Hi all

[joebloggs]

but you still need to show you can support your wife without recourse to public funds, as the 'old rules' will apply

This new financial requirement, which will apply to a grant of six months’ leave as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner and to the five year route to settlement as a spouse, civil partner, unmarried partner or same sex partner, will replace the existing maintenance requirement for those routes in the Immigration Rules, which under case law14 operates, after housing costs have been deducted, at the equivalent of Income Support levels. That existing requirement will apply where the applicant is exempt from the new financial requirement because their sponsor is in receipt of a specified disability-related benefit or Carer’s Allowance.

Hi
I have been looking into this section that you posted here, but for the life of me I can not find this part. Could you please tell me the chapter and section where I might find these wording? Thank you
