Sasha & Sam

In this episode of Love, Borders, Brexit, we hear from Sam and Sasha, a UK–EU couple whose relationship was reshaped by the realities of the UK’s post-Brexit immigration system. Faced with limited options, Sam and Sasha tell us how they felt pressured into marriage to prove their relationship for the visa application. What should have been a joyful milestone became a “strategic exercise”, weighing visa routes, financial conditions, and where it was even possible for them to marry. Sasha received Personal Independence Payments (PIP), a disability-related benefit, which enabled them to apply for a visa through meeting a different financial requirement, but her condition meant there was an additional impact on her health. Dr Jasmin El-Shewy, lecturer in family law at Newcastle University, offers wider insight into the difficulties couples encounter in the UK’s family visa system.
