Protect the Five-Year ILR Route for Existing Skilled Worker Visa Holders

Protect the Five-Year ILR Route for Existing Skilled Worker Visa Holders — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

1. Protect the original five-year ILR pathway for all existing Skilled Worker visa holders. 3. Ensure that people who have already completed four or five years towards settlement are not forced onto a new ten-year route.

Additional details

respectfully ask the Government to protect existing Skilled Worker visa holders and honour the original five-year settlement pathway. Any new ten-year requirement should apply to future applicants, not people who have already built their lives in the UK under the previous rules.How is it fair to change the rules when people like me have already spent years working towards settlement? We trusted the immigration rules in place when we arrived and built our careers,and families around them.
