Rejected petition: Keep 5 year ILR for non-exempt Skilled workers who are already on the Path
Rejected on
Hardworking Skilled Workers who pay taxes but are not covered by transitional arrangements face having the goalposts moved to 10 years for ILR, undermining the dreams of migrants whose families have settled in the UK.
Hardworking Skilled Workers who have paid taxes, contributed to the UK economy and built their lives here should not have the goalposts moved from 5 to 10 years for ILR. Many have settled families, raised children and made long-term commitments based on the existing rules. They deserve fairness and protection, not uncertainty and broken expectations.
