Get the government to lower the minimum income requirement for spouse visa.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

They need to understand that British people are entitled to fall in love and live in the UK WITH OTHER NATIONALITIES aside of of their own.
Raising the minimum income requirements to £38,700 from £18,600 is a big blow to UK CITIZENS leaving outside London or cities whose income are far below.
Family is the foundation of the society.
Why control or even punished people who only want to be together and build a family together because they belong to different nationalities?
Stop taking British people right to choose their partner in life because they cannot afford it. I thought free will exist? Are you saying if your poor or even a middle class you cannot marry anyone aside of someone whose British? Please look this up? This is not fair for your people. Please!
