Immigration: Personal Income
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her planned timeline is for making a decision on the minimum income requirement once the Migration Advisory Committee review has completed.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
On 10th September, the Home Secretary commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to review the financial requirements in the Family Immigration Rules. Conducting a review of the financial requirements across the family routes will ensure we have a clear and consistent system.
The MAC have already completed a call for evidence, which closed on 11 December, to gather views of stakeholders and those affected by changes to the family rules. More than 2000 people responded – a record for a MAC consultation.
It is expected the MAC will issue their report in the Summer. We will carefully consider the MAC’s recommendations before making any further changes and will set out a timetable for responding to the review in due course.
