Keep 5-Year ILR for All Skilled Workers, Regardless of Job Code or Salary

Keep 5-Year ILR for All Skilled Workers, Regardless of Job Code or Salary — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Five years of lawful work, tax and commitment should count. Don't turn 5 years into 10! Skilled Workers pay huge IHS, visa fees and taxes, yet face unaffordable renewals and salary barriers. We came legally, contribute to the UK and deserve equal 5-year ILR rights, regardless of salary or job.

Additional details

All Skilled Workers who follow visa rules should retain the 5-year ILR route, regardless of salary .Lower paid essential workers must not be penalised. Families already settled in the UK deserve transitional protection. We are not asking for free settlement, but fairness, recognition of our contributions and respect for the original 5 year promise.Lawful work, tax and commitment should count. Skilled Workers have paid huge IHS, visa fees and taxes while legally contributing to the UK economy.
