Scrap route to ILR for children born in the UK with 7 years continuous residence
We would like the government to scrap this route which gives parents the right to apply for residency for their child if born in the UK & remained for seven years. We are concerned this is a loophole for illegal migrants to stay in the UK even if their applications have been refused many times.
Maintain the B1 English Language requirement for ILR
Scrap the planned B2 English language requirement and maintain the B1 requirement for qualifying for ILR, to bring it in line with a majority of UK citizens who have GCSE level English and may not have formal A-Level qualifications.
Reduce ILR qualification to 7 years for long residence visa
Reduce the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain under the long residence route from 10 years to 7 years.
Retain current ILR rules for dependants already living in the UK
Retain current ILR rules for dependants already in the UK. We believe the proposed 10 year waits and separate evaluations are unfair, risk family separation, and cause hardship. We think families who have lived here for years should progress together towards settlement.
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.
