What the petition asks

The IHS fee which is been charged along with visa applications should not be required for UK residence that are paying tax and NI. Although it’s reasonable to charge this fee for people visiting the UK or applying for student visa as if they require medical attention, this can cover it.
For example when someone is applying to extend his/her visa now for 2.5 years cost £1,000. £400 per year.
