Petition Keep the 5-year pathway for all legal immigrants to apply for ILR
The Government should stop its plans to change the 5-year pathway for legal immigrants to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain, potentially including immigrants who are already living and working in the UK and have already been on the pathway since 2021.
More details
Many of the immigrants who come to this country get jobs, pay taxes (sometimes at a higher rate than the average citizen) and health surcharges to help fund the NHS. We do not believe we should deter individuals and families who are coming here and contributing. We feel it would also be unfair to punish those who are already on the path to ILR and have already been making these contributions for years and may now be punished.
