Rejected petition Protect existing migrants from unfair new immigration rule changes.

The new UK immigration rules unfairly affect those already here on Skilled Worker, Investor, Student, and PSW visas. We call on the Government to apply existing rules to current residents and reserve new rules only for future arrivals. Protect those who came in good faith.

More details

Many of us came to the UK legally on visas like Skilled Worker, Student, or PSW, investing years of our lives, money, and effort. Changing the rules now—especially income thresholds and dependent rights—is unfair and disruptive. The Government must honour its commitments, apply old rules to current residents, and prevent hardship for those who trusted the system. This is about fairness, stability, and protecting the UK’s global reputation.
