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.
Allow family visa holders to include time spent on a skilled worker visa for ILR
The Government plans to increase the qualifying residence period for indefinite leave to remain from 5 to 10 years for skilled worker visa holders. We believe skilled workers on 5-year visas should be able to include time spent on their current visa if they switch to a family visa & apply for ILR.
