UK Government Halts Sunak’s Plan to Increase Family Visa Income Threshold
In the United Kingdom, there was a rule about bringing family members to live there. If you were British or had a permanent home in the UK, you needed to earn a certain amount of money to bring your loved ones over.
The previous UK government was planning to make this rule stricter. They wanted to increase the amount of money people needed to earn. This change would have affected many families, including lots of Pakistani, Indian and Bangladesi families who dream of reuniting in the UK.
But then, something unexpected happened. Yvette Cooper, in the new UK government made a big announcement. She told everyone that they’re pressing pause on this plan.
Right now, if you want to bring your family to the UK, you need to earn at least £29,000 a year. That’s about 30 lakh rupees. The government was thinking of asking for even more, but they’ve decided to keep it at £29,000 for now.
Why did they change their minds? Well, they want to be sure this rule is fair to families.
So, they’ve asked a group of experts called the Migration Advisory Committee to look into it. These experts will study how the rule affects families and report back to the government.
This news made many families happy, especially those from Pakistan and Bangladesh. They now have more time to plan and save before any changes happen. It’s a reminder that sometimes, big decisions need careful thinking, especially when they involve people’s lives and families.
