Petition Waive visa requirements for non-UK nationals having a child with a UK national

This will allow those who don’t meet the travel history/financial requirements through the current family visa rules to attend the birth of their child or meet their baby for the first time. It is a fundamental right for a child to have access to BOTH parents regardless of finance.

More details

At times a child comes into our life before being financially ready. Does that mean we should not be present while we figure it out?

Parental inconsistency can be detrimental to a child’s development especially in the early years of life. This is being forced upon my baby and others because of fathers who are NOT absent by choice but due to UK regulation. These rules can potentially break up families. This should never happen to anyone. It is discriminatory. This is time we will NEVER get back.
