    Everything is as was since the deal Cameron did has fallen having said that the HO has been dragging its feet and we have noted around a 25% refusal rate on Residence Cards completely spurious since these folk had all ready proven there case by being issued with a Family Permit so the appeal courts will become slower (its around a year now) and there is talk of raising the cost from £140 to plus £800

    "Surinder Singh" will be an early casualty but I do expect visa restrictions for spouses to be considerably eased.

    Is Surrinder Singh connected to the EU or the EEA?

    I guess it would depend on Britain retaining membership of the EEA??

    It is ECJ case law, Graham, which the government is playing fast and loose with. In order for a Brit to qualify he must have exercised free movement rights in a EU member state (but not the UK or Gibraltar) by being actively employed in that state and holding a Residents' Permit issued by that state. Every other state in the EU also require applicants bringing non-EU family to hold Residents' Permits issued by another EU state on the basis of employment, self-employment, being a pensioner or being self-sufficient.

    Is it possible we might relax our own spousal visa laws if EU immigration becomes less of an issue with people?

    Who knows. I doubt it though.

    If you followed what Michael Gove said during the referendum campaign, you will have heard him talk about an Australian-style points system. On at least one occasion he did acknowledge that Brits married to non-EU spouses were discriminated against and a points system for visas would end that.

    Apart from changes to Surinder Singh, not much else can or will change immigration-wise until Brexit is complete, although a points-based visa system may be introduced before that.

    I watched the Gove interview you're talking about, I would like to know out of interest how many visas were issued for spouses/fiancée of British citizens out of the visas for non EU nationals.

    We are still waiting for the Supreme Courts judgement on the MM case regarding the financial restrictions
