What the petition asks
I am British tax paying citizen living in U.K My elder brother is also a British Tax Paying Citizen residing in U.K My parents are living in India and they do not have any immediate family member to take care of them.They are getting old and certainly require our presence to ensure a better care.
We do understand that the government may consider them to be a economic burden on British Tax Payers.
We suggest as under
· No recourse to free NHS for initial 2 to 3 years. This will prevent people from taking free health care for existing conditions. Charging fees for initial years
· No recourse to any other public funds or benefits for good.
I hereby want to launch this petition to show how many of us are suffering from the current visa arrangements.
