This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Immigration: enable freedom of information requests to be accessible online.
It has been seven weeks and Freedom Of Information Request has not responded my requests to obtain information in regards to my husbands visa. I have called, emailed and visited immigration office but no avail. One must be able to check visa status if they know ones, full name, address and D.O.B.
More details
A website for (F.O.I) Requests will facilitate the potential/ present partner to verify one visa status, it's expiracy date, and name of sponsoring organisation (college/university/work permit) . There is no harm in investigating the status of one in advance, such a facility could in fact encourage individuals to be warned against one looking forward to defraud for visa purposes.
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.
We're not sure whether your petition is asking for the responses to all Freedom of Information requests to be available online, or whether it relates only to certain kinds of request.
It is clear that you would like information about individuals' visa status to be available to their partner and to potential partners, and that this might include making this information generally available to the public online.
If you start a new petition with a clearer request, we could look at this again.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
