Petition Remove limit of 548 days outside of the UK for the 10 year route to settlement

Those living lawfully inside the UK for more than 10 years should be able to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain without the 548 days restriction on time spent outside the UK during that time.

More details

We believe this restriction is very unfair after all those years of living in the UK and it needs to end
