Immigrants' benefits: a complicated system explained.
http://www.channel4.com/news/immigrants-benefits-a-complicated-system-explained
No recourse to public funds is stamped in the passport of every non-EEA partner.
Since July 2012, greater wealth is required to come to the UK. There are new financial requirements, which must be met either from income or savings or a combination of the two. For a couple, if just relying on income, a gross annual income of £18,600 is required. If the applicant has and wishes to bring any children, an additional £3,800 gross annual income is required for the first non-British child and a further £2,400 for each additional non-British child.
These new requirements have meant a much larger group of people than before are struggling to qualify under the immigration rules and fear separation or having to go abroad to live together. For many the difficulty is qualifying in the first place. If the foreign national partner can get leave to come to the UK or to remain in the UK as a spouse they will be barred from having recourse to public funds, but they will be allowed to work.

Immigration officials are failing victims of domestic violence.
The culture of disbelief prevalent among officials shows a lack of understanding of the private nature of domestic violence.

“Can I come over and photograph you getting Dyanna ready for school?” I’d asked. A strange request but Ruth understood that I needed some images of her daughter to continue the story.
Dyanna barely knows me but is happy enough to let me photograph her eating rice pudding for breakfast. It’s one of the tins we’ve got from Oasis and it is, Ruth says, her favourite food.
