We came to Iraq in 2012 as it is ny husband hometown. My son was born here but now I cannot get him a passport to take him back to England with me. The Home office are telling me to go to Jordan Embassy and I cannot get there. I need somebody to listen and to help me get my son back home with his mother where we all belong. My family and my daughter back in England need their mum back with them.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
It's not clear what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take to help you. Petitions need to ask for something specific from the Government or Parliament. They're not usually an effective way of getting speedy help with a personal case.
