Reduce the spousal visa threshold to minimum wage so that we all have a family.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Thousands of U.K. Citizens are being separated from their families due to the Spousal visa Financial threshold of 18600£ pa which was put into action in 2012. Which makes it nearly impossible for 47% of applicants to meet the requirement.
Let's push our government to reduce it to minimum wage.
