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 Allow people aged up to 21 to be treated as child dependants for family visas

Due to delays to entering the UK my children are now aged over 18 and cannot be treated as child dependants for visa purposes. I would like the Government to change this so people can be treated as child dependants up to the age of 21. This would help mitigate the impact of delays due to covid-19.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
