Lower or abolish the minimum income requirement for UK Family Visas

Closed 209 signatures

What the petition asks

This requirement isn't easily attainable for many people (including myself), and hence limits their ability to be married to a non-British citizen, for relatively little benefit to the government. The right to family life is in the Human Rights Act, so making this difficult is obviously unfair.
