What the petition asks
At the beginning of June 2025 the Migration Advisory Committee recommended that the MIR should be lowered to national minimum wage of £23.000-25.000. We think the government should lower it and reunite families that are divided
We think this would give more British Citizens the right and opportunity to live in their own country with their Foreign Spouse and Children without the stress of having to go through the worry and anxiety of finding a job that is outside of their expertise or the stress of having to find unrealistic amounts of money in savings. We think it would help to give equal opportunity to everyone who falls in love with a Foreign partner.
