Keep families together
Following a change in immigration rules in 2012, a valid, genuine, and even long-standing marriage to a British citizen is no longer considered grounds to allow families to live together in the UK.
Nor is having children who are British citizens.
Reconsider this discriminatory law which keeps families apart.
Allow the same rights for British citizens as the government recognizes for European citizens, who can live in the UK with non-EU spouses.
Citizens of all of the EU countries, as well as Switzerland, can live and work in the UK with a spouse and/or children from anywhere in the world. This right is denied by the UK to its own citizens.
It is time for the Home Office to rethink this law, and allow the families of British citizens to live together.
