Re-instate Priority & Super Priority services for all visas and ILR applications

Closed 375 signatures

What the petition asks

The UKVCAS centres had previously closed but they are now opening slowly, so the re-opening of these service needs to be planned and communicated as soon as possible.
The pandemic has negatively impacted many individuals who live or work in the UK with a visa. Applications for settlement can take over 6 months, restricting work and travel, but there has been NO consideration for ILR applicants who have been impacted negatively. This impacts people who have made future plans for studying or working assuming they will have their ILR under the priority services within a few weeks.
