New guide and resources for MAC's Call for Evidence on Minimum Income Requirement and Adequate Maintenance
The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is an independent organisation that advises the Home Secretary on immigration policy. The MAC has been asked to review immigration laws relating to family members and have published a call for evidence, asking for views and information about the Minimum Income Requirement (MIR) and the Adequate Maintenance (AM) test.
We have drafted this guide to help you respond to that call for evidence. You must not feel obliged to respond to the MAC, but this is a good opportunity to have your voice heard along with many other families.
If you are now ready to submit your evidence, at this link you can find the individual forms to submit it.
We would advise to prepare your answers on a document using the guide here above to learn what questions will be asked and so that you are able to stay within the 500-word count limit for each answer.
Here below you can find other policy resources that might also be useful.
