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.
Shabana Mahmood
Home Secretary
Allow family visa holders to include time spent on a skilled worker visa for ILR
Reduce ILR qualification to 7 years for long residence visa
Retain current ILR rules for dependants already living in the UK
Keep the 5-Year ILR pathway for existing ECAA visa holders
Treat students without ILR as Home students after 3 years’ UK residence
