Open petition: ​Keep 5-year Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) for those already granted asylum.

Created by Mahmdul Hasan Fahim
Closes on

​Exempt all individuals already granted asylum or humanitarian protection from any proposed changes to increase the ILR qualifying period. Maintain the 5-year route to settlement for these groups to ensure fairness, aid integration, and honor the established commitment.

Increasing the ILR period from 5 years to 10 for people already granted asylum is unfair. They were granted protection under the established 5-year route. This change causes immense anxiety and hinders their ability to fully integrate and rebuild their lives. Honour the original 5-year commitment.
