Judgment in Case C-558/14 Mimoun Khachab v Subdelegación del Gobierno en Álava

The European Court of Justice decided on the 21 April 2016 that the Member States may refuse an application for family reunification if it is apparent from a prospective assessment that the sponsor will not have stable and regular resources which are sufficient in the year following the date of submission of the application. That assessment may be based on the pattern of the sponsor’s income in the six months preceding the date of submission of the application.
