This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Refugees are not granted ILR immediately upon arrival. Refugees can apply for ILR after 5 years in the UK. They can then apply for citizenship after 12 months of being granted ILR.

We can accept petitions calling for changes to when refugees can apply for ILR or citizenship, but we aren't sure exactly what changes you want.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

If you start a new petition you'll need to provide your full name.
