Introduce transitional arrangements so the proposed 10-year settlement requirement and new salary criteria do not apply to those already on the 5-year route.","additional_details":"Many Skilled Worker visa holders came to the UK believing they could apply for ILR after 5 years. We work hard, pay taxes and contribute to the economy. Many earn below £50,271, but that does not mean our contributions are less valuable. Extending ILR to 10 years or introducing a £50,271salary threshold would unfairly affect existing workers. We urge the Government to protect the 5-year ILR route for current visa holders.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2026-11-03T19:18:41.776Z","updated_at":"2026-11-13T12:30:43.088Z","rejected_at":"2026-11-13T12:30:38.202Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-11-03T19:49:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action: \"Protect the five-year ILR route for existing Skilled Workers\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/785621"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
