Has anyone here, or anyone know of anyone who has fallen foul of the new laws (especially the £18,600 wage) that has applied for a Visa yet?
I'm still unsure what to do, as I fall well short (retail wage!) of the salary, and I know I will be refused on this ground alone. We did meet in this country, and have savings together while she lived here, and everything had been planed to avoid touching those savings (£3k), so a loan was taken out to pay for the wedding, and once Ruby was back in the country, with a joint wage we could hammer into the loan aswell as add to our savings. But, with the refusal expected, it will mean that to appeal will cost us a fortune, and pretty much eradicate our savings, if not more.
Everything else we have no issues with. I could submit millions of photos of us in pretty much every part of the UK, aswell as the Philippines. No issues what so ever with genuinity. Even her old overall boss promised her a job if she returned, and since then my Mum's best friend has taken over the day to day running of that care home, so even more promises of a job.
But I'd just like to know if anyone has tried under the wage restrictions, and how they got on and how they are/have fought it. Just under 3 months now until our big day, and then the decision of how we fight this needs to start
