New immigration rules mean some sponsored spouses will have “conditional permanent residence” for two years – and will be subject to deportation if they don’t live with their spouse for the full two years.
The change is designed to combat “marriage fraud” – people getting married in order to obtain permanent residence.
But the new rule seems to assume that a marriage is either fraudulent or destined for eternal bliss.
Life is more complicated.
