Petition for ILR applications - holding applications

Hello everyone

As we all are struggling some way or the other with the home office issues going around.
I have tried to sum up overall issues in one petition.

Please take some time and read it ! Not sure where we would take this but i believe personally its a little high time to bring some attention

Thank you

A few suggestions for the petition.

a) For there to be any meaningful action on it, I suggest that the petition be set up again on the Parliamentary petitions website after the General Election. That way, there would be a debate in Parliament if the petition reaches 100,000 signatures. There would be a government response if the petition reaches 10,000.
Change.org (the current host of the petition) seems to be terribly out of date. It has Vince Cable listed as the Secretary for BIS. He left both that job and Parliament in 2015.

b) Make it shorter, much shorter. Way too much text and way too many bases to cover.

c) Make the petition about one specific action. ILR applications taking too long is something that many people can sign up to and crucially is a specific action that can be monitored and/or observed. So, make the petition about "ILR applications not to exceed six months and a process to be put in place for travel documents to be returned after three months if requested". That is a specific and measurable objective, as opposed to the waffly "reduce hostility towards immigrants".

Hello,
Totally agreed with Secret.simon, the most frustrating thing about the Home office is that they are taking too much time than the service standard to get an ILR application processed, despite of taking the full fees. Even if the application is well explained and fully completed.
