Protect those already on 10 year FLR FP routes from new rules changes.
We are requesting the goverment to provide transitional arrangments (grandfathering protections) for those already on a 10 year route to settlement either as a partner or parent of a British citizen.
The government's proposed immigration rule changes must include grandfathering protections for families—specifically,the partners and parents of British citizens—who are already on the 10-year route to settlement. Applying new rules retrospectively to these families undermines their fundamental right to family life, breaches the legitimate expectation they were given, and causes severe disruption to British citizen children and their family units.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
