What your forgetting is that alot of us here have been married before. I'm sure most if not all of us never had to put up with this much Government interference in our first marriage so never anticipated or thought about it this time around. I was already married when I joined this forum and it was only then I became aware of what people were going through to bring their wives here.
You also talk about moral obligations. Well I think this government has a moral obligation to treat it's own citizens exactly the same if not better than people from the EU. Surely you'll agree that it can never be right that if you had a Polish neighbour in exactly the same situation as you he would be treated better than you in our country.
Point taken Marco...on reflection, I thoroughly agree.

I Lastlid dont begrudge anybody a settlement visa if they can financially stand alone...perfectly reasonable one thinks....you keep harping about the 26k...that figure was put forward because that figure and below is where you cld avail yourself to the public purse......not as you are saying plucked out of thin air or out of malice.
