Rejected petition Grant ILR to NHS staff and dependents being for 1 year in UK or die in pandemic.

We appeal the Governement and Parliament for granting permanent residency and ILR to the NHS staff (doctors, nurses, health care workers and professionals), IMGs and their dependents who have been working or lived in the UK for at least one year or die amid and due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

More details

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused numbers of deaths and risk of infection to rise in between the NHS staff.
We need to feel secure that we are a part of the UK, proud fighting for on the frontlines.
Facing a uniquely tough situation; our dependents need to feel safe being granted permanent citizenship of UK if we die.
Boosting our morale will help us to work in these dangerous and critical times serving the country we have chosen to become a part of and the institution we so proudly love,the NHS.
