Petition Reduce the proposed Core Protection settlement route from 20 years to 10 years
Amend the "Core Protection" policy to grant Indefinite Leave to Remain after 10 years, not 20. The policy cites Denmark as a deterrence model, yet Denmark allows settlement after 8 years. The UK should align with this evidence base, avoiding a costly 20-year outlier.
More details
We feel trapping genuine families in 20 years of limbo inflicts psychological harm and blocks the "self-sufficiency" the Government seeks. 30-month visas prevent mortgages and stable careers. The policy cites Denmark as a model, yet ignores that Denmark settles refugees in 8 years. We feel this 20-year outlier creates wasteful bureaucracy (8 separate visa renewals) and prevents integration. We feel 10 years ensures control without this fiscal and social self-sabotage.
