I'm not disputing it's household income. You said it covers both incomes of a work8ng couple. I just pointed out it doesn't for the initial application.

Not for the initial settlement visa application.

There is no arguement. I know the rules. You think you do.

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.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

No.

Renewals for those already here or for those that aren't? As I've explained, it will be very difficult for the government to deport the spouse of a British national who already has settlement status.

I agree with your second paragraph. The report about what is retrospective and what isn't is vague. I think for the reason in your second paragraph. I'm sure it will be very difficult to deport a spouse of a British citizen.

It's vague. I'm not suggesting you are wrong. I just think the wording is unclear. Is it renewals for those not here yet? There are family rights rules that affect those already here. Time will tell.

There was a comment " not retrospective"

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.

The articles in the media on this clearly quote " British citizens or those with settled status looking to bring their family members to UK" There has also been a quote saying " not retrospective".

A very confusing article and nothing more than scaremongering from a newspaper not living up to its name. They even have a quote saying " not retrospective". There are laws protecting families that need to be taken into consideration.

Doesn't look like it. The announcement said " British citizens and those with settlement status looking to bring their family members to UK"

Two fundamental differences. For a work visa the amount earned must be contracted and constant for the duration of the visa. For a spouse visa only 6 months salary needs to be proved. When applying for FLR based on being a spouse, joint salaries can be used.

Those living abroad in some countries.

I've had absolutely no problems taking my wife into bars, pubs or other social places in UK. I have never heard anyone give the reason for voting leave as "the coloureds" I'm sure there are a small minority out there that don't like " coloureds" but it's not as widespread as you like to make out. You are suggesting racism. Not liking immigration from EU is not being racist.It's certainly not a reason why most people voted leave.

No. The lovely lady I married in 2000 and our beautiful daughter born in 2002.

I don't recall mentioning illegal immigration. In fact, I made a point of saying those "being legally in Britain". No alter egos. Just saying things how they are. Good, attempted wriggle by you though.

You are quite correct. I haven't. I know a few that have. Usually because of foolishness, naivety or the feeling of superiority. Posters on forums tend not to post happy stories. They tend to just live their happy lives. I like to occasionally give a shout out from the other side.

My wife. My daughter too. That's two.

The word " scrounging" is the simple answer. No wonderland. Just incorrect posting by you.

If you don't know or understand the difference between EU migrants and non EU migrants and the benefits to them of being legally in Britain, you should not be commenting on this thread

This thread is with about LGBTQ communities. Your comment it not. My comment, which you quoted, was in response to a comment about the LGBTQ communities. Your comment was not. Inane to the thread is what your comment was.
