The UKBA has announced that they have lodged an appeal against the decision of High Court in MM, Majid and Javid v SSHD regarding legality of the minimum income threshold in applications for settlement by spouses and children of UK citizens and persons settled in the UK.
Our news article of 6th July 2013 summarizes the judgment of Mr J Blake sitting in High Court.
For now, the UKBA will continue to put on hold decisions in spouse/ partner and child settlement applications which do not meet the minimum income threshold but otherwise satisfy the requirements of the rules.
