From March 2022 our non-UK family members will come under the tough British immigration rules, meaning that we will have to be earning £18,600 a year and our partner's income will only count if s/he has been earning in the UK for more than six months.
With the bill reaching report stage in the House of Lords on 30 Sept, we would like peers to vote for the amendment that opposition parties have agreed to put forward for BiE. It has taken a huge amount of effort to get here and we do not want our amendment to fail at this stage.
➡️YOU CAN HELP US by writing to a peer and encouraging your family and friends in the UK to do the same.
➡️HOW? Just read our latest newsletter or visit our website for full information and get writing!
➡️WHEN? Now! Letters/emails need to reach your peer well before the amendment is debated on the 30th September. Of course, the longer they have to read your letter, the better.
