Rejected petition End the £18600 salary law needed to sponsor your spouse

More details

The new family migration law which came into effect from the 9th of July 2012 means that someone who does not earn more than £18600 cannot sponsor their spouse or partner to settle in the UK.

Is love only for the rich? Does that mean I cant love someone who is foreign? What happenned to equality and diversity?

This law needs to be ended as it makes people unequal because of the salary they earn.
