Quote:

(a) "David Kiff, 32, and Wanwan Qiao, 27, got married in November and are due to become parents in September.

"Mrs Qiao's visa application was unsuccessful. The Home Office told her there was 'no reason' why she and Mr Kiff 'could not relocate to China.'

(b) "For a visa to be granted to a non-EU spouse, immigration rules require a couple to be earning a combined income of at least £18,600 a year.

"If this requirement is not met then a visa may still be obtained if 'there would be very significant difficulties' for a couple to live together outside the UK.
