What the petition asks
Decrease the time needed for overseas healthcare professionals and their families to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain.
The overseas healthcare professionals have and will always be an integral part of the NHS. This has been more apparent in the current COVID 19 crisis with ocerseas professionals becoming among the victims of the disease.
It is vital to help these professionals do their job by relieving them from the burdens of the annual visa extensions with all the fees related to it.
