Closed Grant Indefinite Leave to Remain for Long-Term International Students in the UK

Closed on

We would like the government to grant Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) to international students who have stayed for three years or more, followed all legal requirements, and secured a job post-graduation. We think this would affirm their contributions and ensure fair treatment.

In 2022, the economic impact of international students was valued at £28.8 billion to the UK per year. Despite their significant contributions, they face potential deportation after their student visas or Post Study Work Visas expire.

Support us by signing this petition to grant ILR to long-term international students.
