RAV4U congratulations on your success and wish you good luck 
I hope that inshallah the recommendations or whatever action they have taken or intend to take will help the Genuine visa applicants in a favourable way(quick processing and right decesions with flexible approach) and will not deprive them of what they deserve.
They above news article could be a flash point(move by anti-immigration elements to start an argument whether there should be a cap in place regarding the settlement visas) and could cause the home office to trigger consultation to cap the settlement visas and if that happens then it would be so horrible for couples and it will result in a breach of human rights.
This article will further raise in concerns in public to halt immigration and will give strength to those groups who are against the immigration.
Yes they do make unjustified decisions but at the same time it will just cause the British people to loose their trust in the visa process and it will look like that all of those people who apply are being allowed to enter and no one is being stopped and people are being allowed without scrutiny or there is no gate to stop the flood of immigrants.
Why dont they just stop all of those bogus students who dont study and dont pay any fee apart from few hundred quids each year to get extension after extension and are staying there for years without any degree or authentic certificates(apart from the fake degrees and acertificates they buy from colleges)???????????????????????????????????they only wait to complete 10 years to get ILR.No one is studying they are all working full time and to surprise there is NO one at all to investigate and to find out what all these students are doing for the last so many years and what they have studied?No one interviews them before granting extensions every year and year after year.
These people are making it difficult for the genuine people who are away from their love ones and these people are flooding in the UK and there is even no Barrier to stop them.
Normal UK university fee fo international students is around 8000 to 12000 quids per annum and around 90% of these people cant pay this much big amount.
Nothing is being done to raise any barriers to make the criteria diffcult for bogus students and to the surprise even the Pakistani government advocates all the time for relaxation in visa policy for ONLY students and this request is crammed again and again from paki officials each time the UK delegates visit pak.
I assume that the coming up days will bring new hurdles to make it difficult for people to even apply for a UK settlement visa and English language test is the first glimpse of the future barriers that might be implemented in the near future to make it tough for people to unite with their love ones.
Nothing seems very promising in the current climate.
