Dato: 21.11.2024 Svartype: Med merknad Subject: Concerns Regarding Proposed Changes to Family Immigration Rules Dear Minister Emilie Enger Mehl, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent proposal to tighten access to family immigration for elderly parents over the age of 60. While I understand the government's intention to ensure that families can support themselves, I believe that this proposal could have significant negative impacts on many families and individuals. The ability for elderly parents to reunite with their adult children in Norway is not only a matter of family unity but also of compassion and humanity. Many elderly parents rely on the emotional and physical support of their children, and denying them the opportunity for family reunification could lead to increased isolation and hardship. Furthermore, the proposed changes could disproportionately affect those who are already vulnerable and in need of care. While the intention is to reduce the burden on the healthcare system, it is important to consider the broader social and emotional implications of such a policy. I urge you to reconsider this proposal and to explore alternative solutions that balance the need for sustainable immigration policies with the fundamental human right to family life. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Aman Kumar Justis- og beredskapsdepartementet Til høringen Til toppen <div class="page-survey" data-page-survey="133" data-page-survey-api="/api/survey/SubmitPageSurveyAnswer" data-text-hidden-title="Tilbakemeldingsskjema" data-text-question="Fant du det du lette etter?"
