What the petition asks
Family visas: The minimum threshold for a family visa will also be raised to £38,700 to "ensure people only bring dependants whom they can support financially". Currently, it stands at the 2012 rate of £18,600.
such a huge increase is going to tear families apart. Stopping loved ones from being together. There is no justification for doing this
