Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Only your employment income counts as you are the sponsor, so ideally you are currently working, earning over the minimum £18,600, and have a job offer in the UK for more than this amount too! If the...

That's excellent that she added your story in! Worryingly there's nothing in the papers today. Only story I saw on this was msn money. Still at least the debate is starting.

Very sorry to hear about this F Laowai, I'm starting to write to all of the MPs that I think could help. I see that there's a discussion in the Lords tomorrow regarding the income requirement.

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

They don't take your wife's income into account at the point of entry. It's just yours, as the sponsor. If you're relying on your current job, then you need a job offer in hand prior to applying, or...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!
