18k seems alot more fairer... although the extension of the probationary period to five years is still a worryMWill wrote:Telegraph now saying the threshold will be 18k. Threshold for those with a partner and 3 kids will be 27k. A bit more reasonable, at least.

Unlike Guardian, Telegraph seems to be suggesting that the probationary period "will" increase to 5 years. And, Guardian did not comment about elderly relatives with likely high dependence on NHS.The Home Secretary will also extend the probationary period of a non-EU spouse from two years to five and announces rules to keep out elderly relatives of migrants who might require extensive NHS treatment.
However, there's no mention of the truly terrifying Danish-style "attachment" requirement, which seems to have been quietly dropped.sushdmehta wrote:And,Unlike Guardian, Telegraph seems to be suggesting that the probationary period "will" increase to 5 years.

But this one talks of "British values" tests ... in addition to new (read higher scores required) language tests.MWill wrote:there's no mention of the truly terrifying Danish-style "attachment" requirement, which seems to have been quietly dropped.
Could be. As the article says:MWill wrote:The Telegraph seem to have been given a leak.
Also, the article suggests that the changes will be introduced next month - July!The tough new stance follows a lengthy campaign by this newspaper and aims to combat a rise in so-called “sham marriages”
i think they are probably referring to the suggestion that the ukba is going to try to dictate to the courts how to interpret article 8 meaning a migrant won't be able to extend their leave on family life grounds if they don't otherwise meet the rules. I don't see how they are going to able to achieve this however. I think the attempts to limit the scope of article 8 will be open to the most challenges.krs133 wrote:What does the Telegraph mean when it says people 'will no longer be able to extend a visa simply by being in a relationship'? What category would that apply to?
Was anything mentioned on any of the other policies?BigEasy wrote:Teresa May is on the Andrew Marr show right now stating that the figure is 18.6k, then 22k with a child, then additional 2.4k per extra child.
The rest of the conversation was regarding changing article 8 - right to family life - but very much in terms of people with criminal records and people that are already in the UK resisting deportation.m3y wrote:Was anything mentioned on any of the other policies?BigEasy wrote:Teresa May is on the Andrew Marr show right now stating that the figure is 18.6k, then 22k with a child, then additional 2.4k per extra child.
Damian Green has been indicating for about 6 months that anyone already here on a spouse visa would still be able to apply for ILR under the old rules - 2 years, no threshold, etc.PaulT wrote:Is there any indication if the extended 5 year probationary period will be applied to those already in the UK on a two year probation, or will it only effect new applicants?
The telegraph article mentioned an announcement tomorrow - will that be an update of the requirement on the UKBA website, do you think?
They have to give at least 21 days notice of any changes to the immigration rules but if they follow the same procedure as they have with other recent major changes toPaulT wrote:Is there any indication if the extended 5 year probationary period will be applied to those already in the UK on a two year probation, or will it only effect new applicants?

Hi, thanks for your reply. Does anyone know when they will finally release this information? It's been on the cards since the start if the year, but there is still no firm announcement from the Government about what the new requirements will actually be, and equally as important, when they will be introduced!MWill wrote:Damian Green has been indicating for about 6 months that anyone already here on a spouse visa would still be able to apply for ILR under the old rules - 2 years, no threshold, etc.
They do seem to have changed their minds on a lot of things at the last minute, like the level of the threshold, but the last-minute changes seem to be good rather tham bad. So let's hope it's still the case. If they don't it's incredibly unfair, as people already here would have to pay for an extra visa in order to extend to meet the 5 year requirement ...
