Hmmm, it's the details that matter really. We'll learn soon then I suppose.

wonderful it seems that the 5 year period is not guaranteed but that applicants will have to go through 'renewal' processes during that time. Families will have certainty at all of being able to stay together - makes plannng a life together pretty hard!

If anyone is watching Mrs May this legislation is going to take place as soon as possible,I am horribly disappointed with the Labour party.

A Lib Dem MP says "the government must be firm but fair and so I welcome the threshold that was eventually agreed" - I suspect that is code for saying that the Lib Dems refused to accept a higher limit than £18,600.

So we've got a week to wait for the "fine" detail.

Apparently I can't get streamed content at work, so I'm going to have to wait for the written statement, or until I get home.

Or just give up and watch the football instead

Third party financial support will not be permitted. There will be 'some' allowance for savings

Are there any changes outlined for elderly dependent relatives ?

carlyann · Post by **carlyann** » Mon Jun 11, 2012 5:33 pm

Anyone who wants to sponsor a dependent relative requiring care to come to the UK will have to show that they can look after their relative without recourse to public funds and it must be care that they cannot get in their own country

People will only be allowed to sponsor close relatives - parents, grandparents, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters - to come to the UK this way. Aunts and uncles will no longer be able to use the family route. And applications will have to be made from abroad, not while relatives are in the UK as a visitor.

For those who will like to apply before the 9th of July, would it imply they have to be in the UK by this date or that their application must be submitted before this date to qualify for treatment under the old rules?

Thanks
