answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>The Government has no plans currently to change the income requirement for spousal visas. The Supreme Court upheld the lawfulness of the minimum income requirement for spouse visas in February 2017, the current approach ensures that taxpayers are not required to support those settling in the UK on Family visas and the policy promotes integration. The Supreme Court found that our policy strikes a fair balance between the interests of those wishing to sponsor a spouse to settle in the UK and of the community in general.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 18/06/2018 17:13:41 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>There is currently no provision in the Rules for children with refugee status in the UK to sponsor family members to join them. The Government believes the best interests of children are reflected in remaining with their families, claiming asylum in the first safe country they reach – that is the fastest route to safety – and relying on resettlement schemes to travel safely.</p><p>We are listening carefully to calls to expand the scope of the refugee family reunion rules and are reviewing our approach as part of the Government’s wider asylum and resettlement strategy.</p><p>However, expanding the policy without careful thought could risk more children being put in harms’ way, risking dangerous journeys in the hope of sponsoring relatives later.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>Our family reunion policy allows immediate pre-flight family members of those granted protection here to reunite with them. There is provision in the current policy to grant visas outside the Rules in exceptional circumstances, which caters for family members who otherwise do not qualify under the Rules. The Government’s approach has provided a safe and legal route for more than 25,000 partners and children of those granted protection here in the last five years.</p><p>We are listening carefully to calls to expand the scope of the refugee family reunion rules and are reviewing our approach as part of the Government’s wider asylum and resettlement strategy.
