The UK government has shelved a proposed increase in the minimum income requirement for Family Visas, easing concerns for many Indian families. Initially set to rise from £18,600 to £29,000, and further to £38,700, the new Labour government will maintain the current threshold of £29,000 until a review by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is completed. This decision addresses worries about its impact on lower-income families and international recruitment in key sectors like IT and engineering, which rely heavily on talent from countries like India.
