Rejected petition Exempt Turkish ECAA visa holders from 10-year ILR

We ask the UK Government not to apply the 10-year ILR rule to ECAA visa holders. Many applied before Brexit, worked, paid taxes, and are near 5 years. We request exemption or a transitional arrangement.

More details

We want the Government to act because many ECAA visa holders applied before Brexit, have lived and worked in the UK, paid taxes, and are close to completing 5 years. Applying the 10-year rule now would be unfair.
