Milestones

We call on the Government to provide compensation to families separated by the minimum income threshold which we believe has resulted in children growing up without parents, families have split and divorced. The loss of earnings alone can leave them destitute.

Many families have been or are now being separated as a result of what we think is a Draconian minimum income threshold to sponsor a visa for your spouse. The hurt, loss, emotional struggle and financial strain has been irreversible.
