We ask the Government and Parliament not to amend the British Nationality Act 1981 to increase the qualifying period for migrants with indefinite leave to remain (ILR) to become eligible to apply for British citizenship.

Count waiting time from Covid-19 Home Office delays toward ILR 5-year residence
We call on the UK Government to count Home Office delays during the nearly two-year Covid-19 pandemic toward the 5-year residence requirement for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), ensuring fairness for long-term residents affected by delays beyond their control.
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 pathway for all legal immigrants to apply for ILR
The Government should stop its plans to change the 5-year pathway for legal immigrants to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain, potentially including immigrants who are already living and working in the UK and have already been on the pathway since 2021.
Keep 5-Year ILR and Restrict Access to Benefits for New ILR Holders
The Government should keep the current 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and restrict access to government benefits for new ILR holders.
Do not apply new ILR rules to those who arrived before 2021 on a 10 year route
Keep the existing ILR route for people who arrived before 2021 and are already building towards 10 years' lawful residence. Ensure their past lawful years continue to count and are not discounted under any new "earned settlement" rules.
