Petition Action

Grant immediate extensions of family visas for essential COVID-19 workers.

Petition Details

Non-EU families of UK citizens need a family visa to be in UK while waiting 6 years for citizenship. Many do vital jobs providing food, fuel & medicine & work in care homes but don't know if they can remain and make plans. It is time to repay the debt & let them remain in UK for a further 30 months.

Additional Information

We want immediate 30 month extensions of family visas for essential workers who have applied to extend their leave to remain. They claim no benefits or housing but many applications are delayed many months and causing significant stress. It is unfair that key workers, who have served the public good in extremely difficult circumstances, should be made to go through this process at this time.

We ask the Government to immediately extend family visas of families who have served this country so well.'
