They work, integrate, and raise children who feel a sense of belonging here. Don’t disrupt life plans or place new uncertainty in the path of their integration. Don't create a troubled generation lacking belonging.","additional_details":"Applying the new 20-year uncertainty retrospectively to refugees who built lives (work, school, banking) relying on the 5-year ILR route creates a socio-pedagogical crisis. This policy fosters severe marginalisation and lack of belonging. The 20-year rule must apply to future applicants, not those who trusted the 5-year route. A child born here living in uncertainty until 20 hinders identity and belonging, preventing productive British citizenship. Stability is foundational to integration.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2025-11-22T14:11:53.444Z","updated_at":"2026-01-16T09:25:05.041Z","rejected_at":"2026-01-16T09:24:45.298Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-11-22T20:42:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"We have a number of petitions already open on this subject:\r\n\r\nDo not increase the time migrants with ILR need to wait to apply for citizenship\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/751392\r\n\r\nKeep 5-Year ILR and Restrict Access to Benefits for New ILR Holders\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/746363\r\n\r\nDo not apply ILR qualifying period changes retrospectively to ILR applicants\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/751517\r\n\r\nIf you search for \"ILR\" on the petitions web-site you will find even more\r\n\r\n"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
