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.
Shabana Mahmood
Home Secretary
Do not increase the time migrants with ILR need to wait to apply for citizenship
Keep 5 Year ILR route for people who came to UK in 2023 or later
Reduce ILR qualification to 7 years for long residence visa
Keep 5-Year ILR and Restrict Access to Benefits for New ILR Holders
Do not apply new ILR rules to those who arrived before 2021 on a 10 year route
