Hi Mark I thought one of your policies was to put a 5 year ban on immigration?

That is correct but it would not affect marriage/fiance visas.

Also, as we stem the flow of immigrants coming from the EU - genuine applicants from other parts of the world might receive a better treatment!

I am not sure if Nick Farage put it that way. I will have to dig out his Question Time comments....

Where does it say that?

The UKIP policy states-

· End mass, uncontrolled immigration. UKIP calls for an immediate five-year freeze on immigration for permanent settlement. We aspire to ensure that any future immigration does not exceed 50,000 people p.a.

To me that means all settlement?

Of course Rusty. It means what it says.

I would say that anyone wanting to bring their wives / fiances and their children to this country or have wives / fiances and their children here already, even on ILR, would be wise to avoid voting UKIP unless UKIP can demonstrate what the OP above says is true. What we have seen so far, from UKIP, doesn't look good for our loved ones.

Aspire to ensure doesn't mean ensure.

Aspire to ensure doesn't mean ensure.

- they could equally have written "hope to ensure" or "aim to ensure" which also do not mean "ensure".

Might.

Also, what is all this about Permanent Leave to Remain? There is not enough substance in the policies document to gain my confidence. A lot can be said for what is left out of the document. Presumably those on Indefinite Leave to Remain would not be classed as having Permanent Leave to Remain?
