I have just found this forum recently, which I have found very helpful. However I am now worried about the recent changes to the immigration act as it applies to potential surrinder singh cases. I have returned to the UK from Brazil July 2016, having lived there for over 4 years with my civil partner. I have been attempting to secure a job here in the UK at 18.600 ,to satisfy the immigration requirements to bring him to join me, but cannot quite make it, despite having 2 jobs.
Therefore, we explored the surrinder singh route, and have plans for him to come here in January 2017, and go to Ireland to satisfy the condition for this, with me working for 6 to 9 months. However,now there are additional conditions with the 2016 amendments to UK immigration,regarding 1 ; where you first resided together, and 2; tests as to whether you are circumventing UK immigration, and I am confused if this is still possible. Surely everyone using this route is circumventing the UK law, albeit legally.
Anyone please, can you shed any light on these 2 changes ,and exactly what they are in reality and how it may develop,before we embark on this. I just want to know if at present this option is still worth trying.
Many Thanks in advance
