Allow people aged up to 21 to be treated as child dependants for family visas

Closed 30 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to delays to entering the UK my children are now aged over 18 and cannot be treated as child dependants for visa purposes. I would like the Government to change this so people can be treated as child dependants up to the age of 21. This would help mitigate the impact of delays due to covid-19.
