Keep 5 Year ILR for Carrers & restrict access to benefits for New ILR Holders

Keep 5 Year ILR for Carrers & restrict access to benefits for New ILR Holders — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

The Government should keep the current 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and restrict access to government benefits for new ILR holders.

Additional details

Extending the ILR route to 15 years would unfairly affect thousands of Care Worker visa holders who moved to the UK based on existing 5-year rules, disrupting their plans, families, and financial stability. The Government should keep the 5-year ILR route and ensuring new ILR holders demonstrate financial independence before accessing public benefits. We think this protect fairness and stability.
