Hi all, if you haven't already please fill in the consultation on the proposals to retroactively introduce an extra £12,570 per year income requirment for ILR, to have been met by the dependant spouse. This proposal as it stands would apply to those ALREADY ON the route, lengthening the 5 year route with additonal visa renewals.

Scroll to the bottom and click where it says “Respond Online”- it's a super fast goverment survey

"When completing the consultation, please ensure that you identify “Spouse of a British Citizen” as a group that should be also exempt from the £12,570 earnings requirement. Additionally, select “Strongly Disagree” in response to the proposal to exclude transitional arrangements as a lot of people get confused here due to the question being vague."

(Thank you to op of quoted instructions, I've sent it on to so many friends now I've lost your name, apologies!)
