there been a few petitions in the past, one with a lot more signatures than this one, unless you get 100,000's of people to sign it, the gov could care one bit about it.

some non british europeans in the uk, or brits living outside the uk in europe and immigrants from outside europe think their hard done by, it's a lot worse for the poor brit in the uk applying for a visa, as least non brit europeans in the uk have a legal right to bring their wife to the uk, unlike the poor brit in the uk..

my case, all my life in uk paying taxes, waited 3 months for spouse visa, probably more evidence than most on here, as we was married for more than 2years b4 we applied for a spouse visa, only got it then because i had to complain to the embassy.

3 settlement visas and fees for the wife, daughter, stepson. FLR for them, then life in the uk test for the wife and stepson, ILR for them them all thats another 2 apps and fees, now citizenship for the wife, another £650+. more than 6 visa apps upto now, and more than £4,000
