The Dangers of Marrying an Immigrant

Not that dangerous as it sounds in the US. In the UK, there are dangers for family life in mixed citizenship families, after brexit was decided.

What dangers would that entail?

Even if you are UK citizen you have to earn more than X pounds per year to keep your non-EU spouse with you in the country. I have met some PhD students and retired workers with this problem.

I am sure that there are more inconveniences that I have not heard about yet.

I find that astonishing. I had a quick look and couldn't find anything that suggested you need to earn a minimum amount. The only requirement (regarding employment) that I saw was that the resident much meet the EU Treaty requirements but any employment restrictions are for non-UK citizens.

Do you possibly have a source as I'd be very interested indeed?
