Michali, by the time your husband and I get to ILR, I reckon we'll have paid the yearly salary of one full time border/immigration worker (maybe a junior one)

Re: April 2016-17 fees announced
Sorry for second post.... I've just read something by a UK Company posted on Facebook that helps people go the Surinda Singh Route and they're saying that there are other fees payable when applying for a Settlement other than application fee and NHS charge.
They claim there is a House Survey cost of £100, Medical Test of £50 and ESOL level 1 Tuition and Test (A1). Does anyone know if this is correct ?

The first fee I see is a visitor visa for 6 months or less will be £85? Will that be for all visitors?

Those that come from countries where the UK allows them to get their visa (stamp) at the border, will still not pay.

The sharp increase for a Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode is also noteworthy.

Have you heard about this?
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/118060
Seems worrying, if you're planning to move back with a non-EU spouse/family. Although it seems to be regarding migrant visas, who's to say it won't affect the thresholds of other routes?
