What the petition asks
EUSS is Discriminatory on EU Family without Application Decision Time Limit.
UK government should give a time limit on the application process for EUSS / EUSS Family Permit.
UK government should give a time limit on the application process for EUSS / EUSS Family Permit.
Like myself, many EU family have been separated because of this no time limit for making decision on the applications.
Unlike other visa application which has decision time limits, the EUSS Family Permit stated "as soon as possible" this gave the Home Office to interpret the "as soon as possible" to take for ever.
"as soon as possible" can be a year, two years or three years in the eyes on the Home Office decision makers as there is no time limit for "as soon as possible".
We want time limit.
