Petition Allow family visa holders to include time spent on a skilled worker visa for ILR
The Government plans to increase the qualifying residence period for indefinite leave to remain from 5 to 10 years for skilled worker visa holders. We believe skilled workers on 5-year visas should be able to include time spent on their current visa if they switch to a family visa & apply for ILR.
More details
Skilled workers switching to family visas to re-enter a 5-year route to ILR cannot currently include the time they've already spent in the UK when applying for ILR.
