Protect 5-year ILR for existing Skilled Workers earning below £50,271

Protect 5-year ILR for existing Skilled Workers earning below £50,271 — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We ask the Government to protect the 5-year ILR route for existing Skilled Worker visa holders earning below £50,271. Introduce transitional arrangements so the proposed 10-year settlement requirement and new salary criteria do not apply to those already on the 5-year route.

Additional details

Many Skilled Worker visa holders came to the UK believing they could apply for ILR after 5 years. We work hard, pay taxes and contribute to the economy. Many earn below £50,271, but that does not mean our contributions are less valuable. Extending ILR to 10 years or introducing a £50,271salary threshold would unfairly affect existing workers. We urge the Government to protect the 5-year ILR route for current visa holders.
