Receiving A Letter From Mr. Nick Clegg

[Ali_G]

Hi everyone,

My wife wrote E-petition during last June to Mr.Nick Clegg since he is leader of Lib Dem party and deputy of prime minister in order to oppose increasing of requirement income to £18.600 instead of £13.700 within new migration rules being set by Theresa May.

Yesterday, my wife received a letter by post from Mr. Clegg saying that her email has been sent to the home office.

Does it still make any hope to stop the new rules? In fact, it will take a long time.

Do you think guys would the Home Office do anything when we apply for spuse visa due to my wife's opposition.

I don't want to be the bringer of bad news or be a grinch, but the reality is, it's unlikely you'll get a personalised response, if you do get a response from anyone, it will be the bogstandard reply they send to everyone.

In terms of actually doing something about these new rules, well if you are married already then I suppose you may need to consider alternatives, can you move abroad to where your spouse is? Uusally it's easier to go out of the UK than to come in, then there's the issue of trying to string together enough money, perhaps through 3rd parties as well? It's not as difficult as you may think.

As for actions to change the laws, I suppose you could comntinue your e-petition and try to get as many names and signatures as possible. Though I do believe that 18k is harsh, 16k isn't. That's my personal opinion, but good luck.

You're wife's opposition to the new regulations will be one of thousands...so no, the Home Office won't single her out when it comes to your application....they won't even be aware of her objection.
The only likely way the new rules will be amended is through the courts following a successful appeal, but as with the age condition which took 3 years to overturn, this is likely to take a considerable time with no guarantee of success unfortunately.
