Allow all grandparents and elderly parents of UK nationals to immigrate to UK

Petition Details

The Government should allow all foreign grandparents and elderly parents to reunite with their family or grandchildren who are UK nationals. This should be done irrespective of their age or health.

Additional Information

Under current rules, grandparents and elderly parents of foreign origin can only visit their family, unless there is dire 'health' / dependent circumstances that they can reunite with their family.

This creates issues when the grandparents are foreign nationals but travel frequently to help out with childcare of their British grandchildren. It is unfair to charge fees and undergo processes, just so they can meet their grandchildren and assist the parents to return to work.
