UK Visa Rules Cause Chaos and Heartbreak for Couples

TL;DR Summary
New UK visa rules requiring British citizens to earn a minimum salary of £38,700 for six months before their non-UK partner can live with them have left many families and couples in disarray. The rules have caused uncertainty and anxiety for those affected, with stories of separation, health issues, and financial challenges emerging. Many argue that the government has not considered the impact on people in semi-rural areas, those with disabilities or caring responsibilities, and older individuals relying on pensions. The new rules have disrupted lives and raised concerns about family separation and the future of relationships.
