The UK government have now launched a consultation on reforming UK family migration, particularly partner migration (which includes married spouses, civil partners, unmarried partners).
The consultation is open until 6 Oct 2011.
Some of the key proposals that the government is wishing to consult on include;
. Requiring specific income / maintenance levels for British citizens / residents to sponsor partners
· Increasing the probationary period for settlement from 2 to 5 years
· Asking applicants to demonstrate why their combined attached to the UK is greater than to any other country
The overall tone of the proposals as detailed in the consultation seems to be one of restricting the rights of partners to move to the UK with their British citizen partner. Indeed, it is worrying when one sees references to Denmark’s immigration system in the documents, which has long been seen as one of the most restrictive and inflexible in the world.
