No. However, she's taken no life threatening journeys across land or sea, she can live with me, she has freedom of movement in UK, she can work, shop, eat, dleep and play when she wants and where she wants and what she wants. She can leave and return when she wants, she has just returned from a 3 week trip to Thailand, she can contact her family when she wants, she can.........the list goes on.

Exactly. So, a change in regulations would not change the way the applications are processed. Example, if home ownership was taken into consideration, we could upload a copy of our deeds. UKVI would check them. Just as they do with the other documents we upload. If they took share ownership into consideration, we would upload those documents. UKVI would then check those documents, just as they do the other documents we upload. Same process.

You disagree then you go on to give examples to contradict yourself. With a home bought and paid for, £18600 is more than enough for many. My wife and I live comfortably and, though we have the spending power to do so, dont spend more than a grand a month. I agree with you that the rigid, one size fits all, doesn't work.

I'm semi retired. My wife works. I'll now need to go back to work full time, albeit only for 6 months, despite owning a property outright and having money in the bank. If the rules apply to those already in UK, which is still unconfirmed. The jump from £18600 to £37500 is too much in one go. There are going to be so many legitimate applications that now cannot go ahead. In many cases, £18600 as a start is sufficient to support 2 people.

How do those things make the government think my wife is an issue? She lives with me. In a property we own. A property that I would live in if she was not here. Our daughter is 22 and working. She pays NHS surcharge at each visa stage AND pays income tax and NI. There have been over 1 million unemployed for as long as I can remember. That says something about a large proportion of the unemployed. Besides, there are over 1 million job vacancies currently.

I've read it differently. It's retrospective to those who are yet to enter UK. There is also a quote from a top immigration lawyer suggesting the same. My wife will be eligible for ILR December 2024. I believe the income requirement will remain £18600. I belive the fact she is on a " 5 year route" will count.
