Stop the ILR Change: Migrants Feel Scammed

Stop the ILR Change: Migrants Feel Scammed — 9 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

The government has recently announced major changes to ILR route which has been increased from 5 - 20 yrs effecting even those already here on skilled work visa. Many people's ILRs are due by the end of 2026 or early 2027 and it's totally unfair, unjust and this should be reversed.

Additional details

We call the new rules the ‘5 Years ILR Route Scam’ because legal migrants came with the clear expectation of a 5-year path. The government is breaking that promise, damaging trust and pushing people into crisis. Many of us will leave, and others won’t come. We’ve contributed through work and taxes, and we do not accept these new rules for existing migrants.
