Rejected petition: Protect Existing Skilled Workers’ 5-Year ILR Route
Rejected on
We ask the UK Government to protect existing Skilled Workers and their families from retrospective ILR rule changes and allow those already on the five-year settlement pathway to qualify under the rules in place when they came to the UK.
Many Skilled Workers came to the UK legally, meeting the required salary, sponsorship and visa conditions. Families paid substantial visa fees and Immigration Health Surcharge and made life-changing decisions based on the five-year settlement pathway. We ask the Government to protect those already on this route from retrospective changes, including their dependent family members, and provide clear transitional arrangements.
