Repeal changes to immigration visa & settlement requirements announced 1/07/2025
We want the government to cancel all changes to the immigration and visa policy as set out on 01/07/25, effective 22/07/25. The new rules cut many eligible job roles, raised the salary threshold, and require that sponsored jobs have a university degree.

Exempt existing 5 and 10 years routes visa holders from new pathway settlement.
The Government’s proposed new residence pathway "Earned Settlement" shouldn’t include those who are on an existing pathway since 2012 as we believe it violates trust to change the conditions retrospectively.
Review settlement rules for the skilled worker visa holders - ILR after 3 years
We call on the Government to review Skilled Worker settlement rules to allow them to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) after 3 years but keep “no public funds” rule during ILR.
Exempt students who arrived before July from changes to visa/settlement rules
Maintain the 2-year Graduate Route for students who arrived before July 2025 and allow transition to the Skilled Worker visa under pre-July 2025 rules, with a clear 5-year residency pathway to ILR.
Keep the 5-year ILR pathway and restrict benefits & citizenship for 5 more years
We want Parliament to keep the 5-year ILR pathway to show their support for legal immigrants, many who migrated to the UK based on the 5-year ILR pathway, and to restrict the extension of citizenship and benefit access for another 5 years to guarantee this proposal.
Keep the 5-Year ILR pathway for existing ECAA visa holders
We ask the UK Government to keep the 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain for former ECAA (Turkish Businessperson) visa holders. Extending it to 10 years breaks previous commitments and unfairly affects those who built lives and businesses in the UK.
