Petition Allow Immigrants to Visit Back Home pending Conclusion of Applications & Appeals
It is common that Home Office often takes much time to conclude the applications for LTR and ILR. Similar is the case with the appeals process, which usually takes 6 months to 1 year or maybe more. Therefore, many immigrants stuck here due to the delayed processing of their immigration matters.
More details
1. Applicants/appellants be allowed to visit back home pending the conclusion of their applications/appeals for a limited period of upto 4 weeks.
2. In the alternative, policy for treating the applications/appeals as automatically withdrawn upon traveling abroad during the pendency of their applications/appeals be amended to the effect that, such applicants/appellants who return back home should be allowed to re-enter the UK upon having positive outcomes of their applications/appeals.
