Petition Change requirements for ILR for those who have graduated and worked for 3 years

We believe people who have studied on at least a year long programme in the UK in the past 5 years and graduated, and have then worked for at least three years in the UK should be allowed to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) with their dependents.

More details

This is envisioned to retain highly skilled immigrants in the country, a valuable workforce, without burdening them with a 5-year sponsored visa route to obtain ILR. Completing a rigorous 1-year minimum course of study in the UK, paying the required fees and successfully completing the rigour of world-renowned British universities' academic curriculum; and then working diligently as skilled workers for 3 years is in our view sufficient.
