Rejected petition: Remain the ILR route of 5 years to the skilled workers who earn below £50000
Rejected on
Its completely unfair for those who came in the UK in skilled worker visa and move them to 10 year ILR route just because they earn less than £50000 a year. This is a deception as it feels as nothing matters to the government even if they work on the shortage occupation list and pay higher taxes.
Most of the skilled workers came to the UK legally and working on shortage occupation list jobs paying higher taxes, most of them not claiming any benefits from the government, and its its a complete unfair decision by the government moving them to a 10-year ILR route. They also contribute to the government in the form of taxes, other living expenses. They are also human being with life and hopes on their children's future.What of their children who completely integrated with the culture here?
