The Home Secretary announced that the planned increase to the minimum income threshold for those bringing dependents to the United Kingdom on family visas is on hold.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The Home Secretary also stated that MAC will review key sectors within international recruitment, including IT and engineering. The ministerial statement demonstrates a continued support for the changes announced earlier this year, including increases to salary thresholds for skilled workers and health and care workers. Other proposed changes include eliminating the ability for Health and Care Worker visa holders filling care worker and senior care worker roles to bring dependents with them and an end to the 20% “going rate” salary discount for shortage occupations.
BAL Analysis: The statement highlights the new Labour Party’s legal migration objectives and reintroduces expected reforms to migration policy. British citizens and those settled in the U.K. who want their family members to join them will not be impacted by the planned hike to the minimum income threshold yet.
