'The Government is forcing me out because I married a foreigner': Husband may miss birth of his child because of new visa rules | Mail Online via kwout
The Home Office brought a new 'tickbox system' into force last July which means British citizens and their foreign spouses must meet a set of financial criteria before they are allowed to get a marital visa.
She added: 'I’ve been told citizens of other EU countries do not have to meet any financial requirements at all.
Partners of British citizens who wish to apply to remain in the country on the basis of their relationship must meet an array of criteria set out by the UK Border Agency.
They must prove that they and their other half are both over 18, that their relationship is 'genuine and subsisting', that any marriage or civil partnership is valid under UK law, and that they intend to live with their partner permanently in the UK.
UKBA also requires proof that would-be British citizens have met their partner in person, that the couple in question are not related in any way that would prevent them marrying under UK law, and that any previous relationship has permanently broken down.
Finally the applicant must show that they meet UKBA's list of 'suitability requirements', along with its English language requirement, and - crucially for Crystal Colville - its financial requirement.
This states that any non-national hoping to remain in the country on the grounds that their partner is a British citizen must have an income of at least £18,600.
If the applicant has a child that is not a citizen or settled in the country that they wish to live with them in the country, the minimum income goes up to £22,400.
Each additional child requires an additional income of £2,400.
