Britain’s selective immigration policy and the newly incurred changes in the family visas are certainly not what the doctor ordered
In the legal sense, the only prerequisite for getting married is the consent of the bride and the groom. That widely accepted logic has undergone a dramatic twist, as Britain’s new immigration policy has indicated a more ‘selective’ approach; imposing an income threshold for marrying a foreign national and bringing the spouse back to UK.
In a move to ensure that “the right people are coming” to UK, Immigration Minister Damian Green has formulated an immigration policy, which will only allow foreign nationals earning more than £31,000 per year to apply for permanent stay in the country after five years. The amount is comparatively high when compared to the Britain’s median annual income of £26,000. The policy will also ban British residents earning less than £25,700 from bringing in a foreign spouse. This category currently accounts for more than half the working population of UK. Moreover, major changes in family visas are being undertaken, which are denying entry to husbands or wives who can’t speak English. UK is also planning to scrap the post-study work visa, which is immensely popular among south-Asian students.
