Grandfathering and transition so new ILR rules don’t affect current ILR routes.

Grandfathering and transition so new ILR rules don’t affect current ILR routes. — 9 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Introduce grandfathering and transition routes so the new 10-year ILR rule does NOT apply to people already in the UK on legal 5-year ILR pathways. Apply new rules only to those arriving or applying after 2026. Protect existing applicants.

Additional details

People followed the law, paid taxes, and planned their lives on the 5-year ILR system. Changing rules midway is unfair and creates hardship. If the Government wants to restrict benefits for new migrants, they can, but those already on 5-year routes should be protected. Grandfathering ensures fairness and stability.
