Hi I've seen on websites that in the future will they ever change the £18600 to £13000 a year for fiance visa & spouse visa


I only earn £13100a year with both jobs that I have plus I have savings in the bank

Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon

There is a pending court case which is months if not years away from being decided but it's doubtful.

 

[Roystonpeas79]

Thank you nyclon


Yes I seen it on the bbc website a few months ago

 

[Joppa]

Yes, that was the speculation at that time but since then the government has appealed against the High Court judgment and stated in parliament last month they have absolutely no plan to lower the financial requirement.

 

[Roystonpeas79]

When did the government make this decision ?


I seen on the ukba website on most cases are put on hold

 

[Joppa]

It's not a decision but a statement of intention. So the government is prepared to fight tooth and nail to maintain £18,600 (possibly uprated with inflation) all the way to the Supreme Court, and then Europe.

Oh my goodness the whole thing is abit crazy,


You my girlfriend is Veneuzelan we have talk about getting married and applying for a fiance visa for uk, as I only earn £13100 a year from both jobs. it leaves abit unfair for people who don't earn £18600 a year

Nothings ever fair in this world I suppose you can provide between 26,000+ worth of savings to use a shortfall of your income but realistic some people just don't have that amount of savings

I do have some savings but its not £26 grand I have about £16 grand at the moment but its still short

I'm great thanks, yourself?

The only option is to wait work longer save up that's my only way to meet my own shortfall, fingers crossed XD

 

[Roystonpeas79]

I'm grand thanks sel

So if I can save up £26 grand and put my £13100 a year together would that help?

I'm all new to this sel it's sort of hard to understand the whole ins & outs if you know what I mean

Any help would most greatful

Why does your location say Northern Ireland? where are you and what passport do you have?

 

[Roystonpeas79]

Hi I was born and bred here in Northern Ireland witch is apart of the uk

 

[Roystonpeas79]

I have a British passport

I can apply for an Irish passport too

 

[Hertsfem]

Anything there Joppa?

 

[Joppa]

Dual British/Irish national cannot use EEA route.

For financial requirement you need £29,750 in savings (kept at that level for 6 months) plus your salary of £13,100

 

[Roystonpeas79]

Hi Joppa how are you??


Thank you for the adicve

I only have a British passport not a Irish passport I know people who are in Northern Ireland can apply for a Irish passport

Thanks again

 

[Joppa]

All I'm saying is for bringing your partner to UK, taking out Irish nationality offers no advantage.

 

[Roystonpeas79]

Thank you Joppa it means a lot for the advice I am most great full


I hope I wasn't being rude and I respect everything you do this site

Thank you again Joppa
