Rejected petition Unfair Visa requirements

I have returned to the UK with my son, but we are unable to get a resident visa for my Wife and Sons mother, without rediculous criteria and yet any EU citizen can bring their wife in with no problem.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to contain a clear statement explaining what action you want the UK Government or Parliament to take.

It seems from your petition that you believe that the rules about who can settle in the UK as the husband, wife or civil partner of a British citizen are unfair. If that is the case, you could start a petition asking for a specific change to the rules.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
