'A Driffield man has attacked UK immigration laws which are about to force him and his American girlfriend to live on different sides of the Atlantic. Archeologist Peter Makey, 51, has now started a petition and is writing to Home Secretary Theresa May to ask her to show compassion and allow his fiancée Tina Cintron, 61, from Honolulu, Hawaii, to live with him at his home in Bridge Street. '
The article goes on to note that Peter has been an unpaid carer for his late brother and late mother for many years.
The average salary in Yorkshire and the Humber in 2007 (pre-recession) was £18,614 - just £14 above the income threshold of £18,600. As East Yorkshire is a largely rural area, one might anticipate the average salary to be below the income threshold.
