We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make parents at risk eligible for family visas to join their children in the UK
Amend the rules for family visas so that parents who do not need long term care but are in danger or at risk of being without normal provisions (e.g. food, access to medicines) can join settled children in the UK.
More details
Right now there are riots and looting happening in South Africa and many people living in the UK have parents who are at risk. Shopping malls, businesses & homes have been burned, it is chaos. The army has been called in but is struggling to regain any control. Ambulances have been stolen, food supplies, businesses, medical supplies and infrastructure in KZN has been destroyed. Let parents come to the UK to stay with children who are settled here.
