Request that the UKBA are more accountable for their actions Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/request-that-the-ukba-are-more-accountable-for-their-actions.html Online petition signatures en-us Mon, 13 Apr 2026 01:26 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Anonymous [Signature #365] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8565155?utm_medium=rss I am a NZer about to embark on the same process - Ive been aware of this problem and am nervous. Have taken massive steps to avoid applying through the classic way -successfully- but think its unbelievable that in a situation where its generally understood that a person is eligable for a visa - that they should deny a husband and wife their right to be together. What tripe.

Its staff needs training in how to do the job: e.g. basics such as how to differentiate a good citizen from a bad one and how to act with some urgency. Incidentally, what does the NZ High Commission/NZ Government have to say about the indefinite withholding by UKBA of its citizen's passport? And what does the employer, St John and Elizabeth Hospital have to say about the barring from the UK of such a valuable member of its staff?
