The new revised immigration rules affecting members of HM Forces and their families have been laid in Parliament. Contact ICS Legal today on how this would impact you and your family on 00207 237 3388.
The new rules come into effect on 1 December 2013. They were announced in a written ministerial statement on 4 July 2013, and will bring Armed Forces family rules in line with the family Immigration Rules in Appendix FM.
This will mean that:
On 5 July 2013 the Home Office appealed against a High Court judgment in a legal challenge to theminimum income threshold for spouses/partners and children applying under the family route. The Home Office will continue to put on hold cases which are being refused solely due to not meeting the minimum income threshold until the case is finally determined by the Courts.
