Remove the restriction on family awaiting visas from visiting UK as tourists.

What the petition asks
The visa application process prevents people visiting while the application is being processed despite them normally being allowed tourist visas. I would propose this restriction is removed.
The UK has prioritised Ukrainian visa applications. This has left people going through the normal family / spouse process in a bad predicament. The process now takes 6 months. The pain impacting families are going through could be greatly alleviated if the non British family member could visit the rest of family in UK during their visa application
