Protect existing Skilled Worker visa holders from retrospective ILR changes — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
Keep the 5-year ILR route for Skilled Worker visa holders already living in the UK and do not apply new settlement rules retrospectively. Any new rules should apply only to future arrivals. Salary thresholds should also reflect regional pay differences across the UK.
Don’t move the goalposts for those already here. Skilled workers who came to the UK under a 5-year route should retain that route, with new rules applying only to future arrivals. Skilled Workers should be treated as a separate category. Salary thresholds do not reflect regional pay differences and discourage salary sacrifice to avoid higher bands. People also cannot retrospectively change past earnings to meet a £50,270+ threshold, making retrospective rules inherently unfair.
