We believe the proposed extension of the ILR qualifying period from 5 to 10 years for RQF Level 6 and below skilled workers will cause severe financial hardship, heightened stress, and imbalance in work-life for ground-level employees contributing vitally to the UK.

Home Secretary
Do not apply ILR qualifying period changes retrospectively to ILR applicants
Reduce ILR qualification to 7 years for long residence visa
Do not apply new ILR rules to those who arrived before 2021 on a 10 year route
Keep 5-Year ILR and Restrict Access to Benefits for New ILR Holders
Keep the 5-Year ILR route for refugees. Do not extend it to 10 or 20 years
