Rejected petition: Protect existing Skilled Workers: Keep the five-year ILR route
Rejected on
Protect existing Skilled Worker visa holders and honour the original five-year settlement route
We demand protection for everyone who started the Skilled Worker route before 12 May 2025, allowing them to keep the original five-year ILR route.
We came legally, worked hard, paid taxes and built our lives around the rules we were promised. Changing the rules halfway through our journey is unfair and unacceptable.Care workers deserve protection, but so do skilled professionals who studied, qualified and contribute to the UK economy.
Do not punish us . Honour the five-year promise!
