Good Day.
I dont regard it as a priviledge I regard it as my right to bring my wife here. The last thing on my mind when I fell in love was could I afford to bring her here. Fortunately I never had to worry about the financial side of things. There are some amongst us who have worked hard all their lives but their incomes fall below the current threshold. I just don't think it's the job of a Government to decide if you are financially in a position to support the woman you fall in love with. Anybody else working here from an EU country can bring there spouse here without these thresholds being imposed so why is it ok to treat British citizens like this.
In the case of many friends on this forum I'm sure most of their wives either work or intend working when they arrive.
For me all this government has done is attack the easy targets to keep their immigration figures down. I'm sure if you spoke to most British Citizens this would not be their preferred way of tackling immigration problems in this country.
