Change 20 years private life rule to 16 years
Create an earned amnesty route for migrants without leave to remain
Create an organised and earned scheme for migrants in the UK without leave to remain to earn amnesty and secure leave to remain to enable them to live with dignity and contribute to the UK's economy.
The scheme should be open to all who have not broken the law and have resided in the UK for over 16 years.
The immigration system does not meet the needs of many, there are concerns that the new Points Based System will not improve things, and a risk that there will be a skills shortage when the UK leaves the EU.
The current Prime Minister has expressed support for a proposal along these lines. The scheme could be run along the lines of how the Home Office processed legacy cases between 2006 and 2011, so there is a precedent for it. It could alleviate great hardship to the most vulnerable and exploited in society.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
You want the terms of the Private Life and Long Residence route to seeking leave to remain to be changed. However this route is currently only available to those who have been in the UK legally and so would not apply to those who do not have leave to remain.
You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a very similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/301696
